I have a variable () loaded with a html code:
$.get(url, function (res, data) {
response = res.responseText;
}
The response variable gets loaded with this:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="version">1</div>
</body>
</html>
how can I retrieve the content of the div#version to a variable version?
Thanks
Since you are using jQuery and the response is html, then you can simply do this:
var version = $(res.responseText).find('#version').html();
If you want jQuery to parse your result resulting HTML and just retrieve the content of #version you can use the following:
var response = '<html><head></head><body><div id="version">1</div></body></html>';
var version = $( response ).filter( '#version' ).text();
Edit: Refer to @freakish, whose is the better answer.
Try this -
var version = document.getElementById("version").innerHTML;
or if you are using jquery then try this -
var version = $("#version").text();
