jQuery. Treat a string as a HTML document?
<p>I'm not sure if I worded the title correctly.</p>

<p>Basically is it possible to treat a string as HTML as if it was on the page? So I can use $("#elem") and all the other jQuery functions?</p>

<p>The HTML is loaded into a string from an ajax request and stored in a string. Instead of using regular expressions to access the data needed is it possible to use jQuery functions?</p>

<pre><code>ajaxTextResponse.$("#telephone");
</code></pre>

<p>I know the above won't work, but you see what I am getting at.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
