jQuery Load Without Appending to Element
<p>I am using jQuery's load function to get template data from external html files. In most cases I prefer to storage the data in a variable and append it when I need to later on. For example, I may end up cloning the node several times, or appending other data to it etc etc. The point is I need to be able to load an element from an external file, but not append it to an existing document.</p>

<p>What I am doing now is simple:</p>

<pre><code>var storage = document.createElement('div');
$(storage).load('somehtmlfile.html #sampleTemplateDiv');
</code></pre>

<p>But its annoying to have to remove the html from inside the storage div every single time. It would be nice if I could do something similar without having to append to a redundant container div and I could just have the data from the html file waiting nicely in the storage variable. Is this possible?</p>

<p>A non-jquery solution would be perfectly acceptable.</p>
