title: Use JQuery selector on a string of HTML content
body: <p>I have a string of HTML content I am getting back as a Partial View from ASP.MVC.  I don't want to render this anywhere on the page, rather I want to use JQuery to select certain elements out of the HTML returned content and do things with it.  </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to use JQuery selectors in this way without the HTML being rendered on the page?</p>
