Capturing Live HTML Page To a jQuery Object

Capturing Live HTML Page To a jQuery Object

My background is C++ and C#.

Using basic selectors and filters in jQuery is not a problem for me.

My problem is finding the right jQuery code to capture a live html page and assign an object which contains all the html text I just captured... then I can use the object to apply basic selector and filter functions to create another page.

Any small bit of jQuery code or explanation would be helpful.

Thanks.
