    hello everyone!
    I'm using ajax of jquery to get the content of one page.Specifically i get the whole page content like this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="demo">content</div>
    </body>
    </html>
    now i want to get the content of div named "demo". i can get whole page content with jquery ajax,but i can't find div innerHTML.help me.

    You may be able to do this using a regular expression. Or if the XHTML is strict you could read the document in as XML using responseXML and then just select the node you want to read.
