Traversing the result of $.get() with jQuery

I load some HTML via $.get(); I only want some parts of the result inserted into my html. So searched SO found this questions and then tried this:

$("a.load").click(function() {
  $.get(this.href, {}, function(result) {
    content = $("#main", result);
    console.log(content);
  }, "html");
  return false;
});

Though result has the correct contents console.log(content) returns []. Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • If you're trying to do what it sounds like you are, .load() would be easier:

    $("a.load").click(function() {
  $("#WhereYouWantHTMLInjected").load(this.href + ' #main');

  return false;
});
