Hi. I'm porting a Mootools script to jQuery. Basically I need to extract some data from existing data. In Mootools, I did it like this:
This creates a new element with some HTML : tmpData = new Element('div').setHTML(htmlData); This extracts all <li>*</li> from tmpData : $E('li', tmpData ).injectInside($('el)); I tried : jQuery('<div id="tmpData">'+data+'</div>'); jQuery('#tmpData').find('li').append('el'); which does not work for me because '+data+' contains the same elements which are on the page. I feel that the extraction actually works (I get no error message) but after being appended to the div 'tmpData'. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
