1Why can't you append it to your document and then traverse?user1741851– user17418512014-06-04 03:46:03 +00:00Commented Jun 4, 2014 at 3:46

You can create a container object (I've used a div here) and then assign your html string to .innerHTML and then you can query the child objects that are created.
var container = document.createElement("div");
container.innerHTML = htmlString;
The child nodes of the container object are what is created from your HTML.

using jQuery you could do something like this:
var yourStringFromServer = '<div><div id="helloWrap"></div></div>';
var a = $(yourStringFromServer); // create new jQuery instance with string
a.find('#helloWrap').html('hello'); // find the helloWrap node and set html
a.appendTo('body'); // append html to body
