hello, i want to select an item from ajax response html.

For example.

1. $("#result").load('test.html");

Then if the test.html return

1. <div id="abc">test data</div>  
   

Is there a way i can use

1. $("#abc").hide();   

i try it but it won't work. I think jquery can't see the <div id=abc> element

Please help.
thanks
