"data" is actually the string returned by the request, so I cannot
access it as a selector - I think that is what you meant. I can't
query against it at all in Firefox. Does anyone have suggestions as to
how I can convert it into something else before trying to use it? I
tried "toString()" on the off chance it wasn't being recognized as
such, and that didn't work.
