Hi,

I'm trying the following:

<div id="test"></div>
<script>
var htmlStr = '<html><head></head><body onload="test()">Nog een keer!</body></html>';
var bodyStr = jQuery(htmlStr).find('body').html();
jQuery('#test').html('Show body string: '+bodyStr);
</script>

I want to catch the contents of between the <body> tags in htmlStr.

Now bodyStr returns a NULL.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance,

Pieter...!

jQuery won't make it into a jQuery object like if it was a regular element tag. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

as Chrazy mentioned, u wont get it unless htmlStr became part of dom.

Or if its a valid xhtml then parse it as xml.

Works because jQuery strips all but the body contents with the .html method.

It’s not a flexible way to get it, but it works in your case.

Maybe using regexp!
