Answer 1

+2 A:

Try this:

var $items = $(data.content).find('#items')

or if #items is at the top level of the <body>, then do this instead:

var $items = $(data.content).filter('#items')

Answer 2

+1 A:

success: function(result) {
    var div = $(result).filter('#items');
}

I have done this first, but then figured it would be kind a waste of resources to select the whole result with jquery and only then look for #items. Is it slower to extract the div from the string first and then select it with jquery?

In terms of performance the best would be to have your php script return directly the partial HTML you need.

Darin Dimitrov 2010-09-04 12:20:34

Good idea, would you regexp it? or is there some class to easily browse the DOM of a HTML file in PHP? phpQuery ? :P

No, no regexp, just separate the HTML fragment you need into another script.

Answer 3

+1 A:

Once you parse the JSON response and get the HTML out of it, wrap it in a jQuery object:

var $j = $(htmlGoesHere);

Then, extract the HTML of the div:

var itemsHTML = $j.find("#items").html();
