[jQuery] How to get JQuery to parse text as HTML


I'm trying to get jquery to parse some text in a variable as HTML, has
anyone tried this before and got it to work? Can this even be done,
or do I have to parse as text?
<CODE>
testHTML = "<html><head></head><body><ul><li class='targetMe'>TESTING</
li></ul></body></html>";
testGetHTML = $(".targetMe", testHTML).html();
alert( testGetHTML );
</CODE>
