[jQuery] manipulate complex HTML returned by AJAX

jQuery, AJAX & Complex HTML

So you need to grab some pretty complex HTML - likely a whole page - via AJAX and extract a certain portion of it for use.

You're already using jQuery for your project, or it's not a big deal to add, so you figure it's super-simple and powerful selector functions like find will make your life a whole lot easier.

I mean, you can just pass HTML into the top-level $() function and it'll turn into a jQuery DOM representation so you can just chain a find call onto that, right? Wrong.

Mostly due to the underlying browser APIs that jQuery has to rely on, complex HTML and especially entire pages get filtered into a big mess that makes using regex on the raw text response about as easy as using jQuery for it.
