$(".get").load("getthis.php" body); but if your response gethis.php page has a body tg with id ="thisbody" then the code will be $(".get").load("getthis.php" #thisbody);

Answer 3

+2 A:

Wondering if this helps:

$(data).text();

This seems to work out of the box:

$.ajax({
    url: 'http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3861325/ajax-get-body-only/',
    success: function (data) {
        alert($(data).text().replace(/\s+/gm, ' '));
    }
});

i get this in console.log "(an empty string)"

GusDe CooL 2010-10-05 06:53:53

I've updated the post, now it seems to work in console. (PS: to run the example in console, you must run this from a browser window that is displaying a page from http://stackoverflow.com).

Answer 4

+2 A:

This should do it:

$('.get').load('/getthis.php body');

Edit: Sorry, I just tested this and it doesn't seem to work using body as a selector, which surprises me. If I change getthis.php to this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="test">
        Olalalalala bebe
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

And call it like this:

$('.get').load('/getthis.php #test');

I get the result you are looking for. But it seems body is not a valid selector in this case.

nope, the response still give the same result as my example.

GusDe CooL 2010-10-05 06:50:27

yes you right. it's seems it didn't support body. i try with ID and Class it's work. thanks you very much.

GusDe CooL 2010-10-05 07:12:01

You're welcome. And if anybody knows why this doesn't work with `body` as the selector, please comment and let us know!
