how can I get the inner HTML value of an HTML tag that is IN A STRING (not DOM) using jQuery or Prototype?
I have HTML in a string returned by an ajax call. I would like to get the value of an element like I would with a normal selector: $('#my_div'), not by regex.

Unfortunately I don't know how to do this since it's in a string...

Can anyone help?
