Create new CsQuery object without inheritance

Question

directly to the question:

I have CsQuery object with some data.

 CQ html=new CQ("<div id='wrapper'> <p id='getIt'></p> </div>");

I want to get p and assign it to a new CQ object :

 Cq newHtml=html["p"];

When I do that, it also inherits the original DIV. How can I make p element be the 'root'. ?

I have been trying everything:

after html.MakeRoot() if I use .Select() it still returns the DIV.

Also I tried using the .Find function (it search within the selected element) but it doesn't resolve my problem because I use a third-party library function which uses .Select()...

I know that I can do something like that

    CQ html=new CQ(html["p"].RenderSelection());

But it's kind of....

Thank you!

First of all, I humbly suggest the new 1.3 creation syntax over the old one:

CQ html=CQ.CreateFragment("<div id='wrapper'> <p id='getIt'></p> </div>");

Now, like you wanted, we want to get the inner p element, then create a new DOM context, we can do this by invoking the constructing method again. I think code will be easier :)

 CQ html = CQ.CreateFragment("<div id='wrapper'> <p id='getIt'>Hello</p> </div>");
 //Create a _new_ context
 CQ newHtml=CQ.CreateFragment(html["p"]);
 newHtml.Text("World");
 Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}",html["p"].Text(),newHtml.Text());//Hello World
 Console.Read();

If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know.
