Extracting Ajax return data in jQuery

Question

I have done jQuery and Ajax, but I am not able to get the response into a Div element. This is the code:

Index.html

$.ajax({
    type:"POST",
    url: "ajax.php",
    data:"id="+id ,
    success: function(html){
        $("#response").html(data);
    }
});

It is receiving the response to my <div id="response"></div>.

The ajax.php returns following code to the index.html file:

<div id ="one"> OneVal </div>
<div id ="sub"> SubVal </div>

Will I able to extract the OneVal and Subval into a variable, and how can I extract "OneVal" and "SubVal", instead of above response?

Answer 1

You can use .filter on a jQuery object that was created from the response:

success: function(data){
    //Create jQuery object from the response HTML.
    var $response=$(data);

    //Query the jQuery object for the values
    var oneval = $response.filter('#one').text();
    var subval = $response.filter('#sub').text();
}
