How to make .get return only div contents

[SECSteve]

I have been able to get the .get method to work and put the results in
a <div>.  My problem is that my .get calls ont he same page as it
originates from so it returns the entire page inot the <div>.  I get
the entire page with my new content inside the existing page.    How
do I get just the new content for my <div>?

Here is me code.

  function updateCompanies(alpha){
    $.get("InteractionsByCompanyr6.aspx?alpha=" + alpha
      ,""
      , function(data){
          $("div#update1").html(data);
        }
    );
  }


Thanks,
Steve

Well, you should consider reading the doc sometimes :
http://docs.jquery.com/Core/jQuery#expressioncontext

By default, if no context is specified, $() looks for DOM elements within the context of the current HTML document. If you do specify a context, such as a DOM element or jQuery object, the expression will be matched against the contents of that context.

$("div#update1").html($('div#update1', data));
 
And if you had read even a bit further you might have stubled on that :
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/load#urldatacallback
It allows you to do that :
$("div#update1").load("InteractionsByCompanyr6.aspx div#update1 > *", { alpha: alpha });

$("div#update1") is who will recieve the contents in your existing page
"InteractionsByCompanyr6.aspx div#update1 > *" says you load (using get) your asp page and just keep the contents of update1 to insert.
{ alpha: alpha } is the get parameter to happend the query

Ain't it nifty ?

You know, Michel, I’ve been reading many of your remarks recently

and have noticed that you seem to have a desire to come across as a jerk.

Maybe you want to be perceived that way…I don’t know.

 

But too many of your comments contain lines such as:

 

“Well, you should consider reading the doc sometimes:”

and

“And if you had read even a bit further you might have stubled (sic) on that:”

No reason to make such remarks…

 

Yes, reading the docs is helpful, but finding information in the docs

means knowing what to look for…and many times people don’t know

what they need.

 

You are helpful in your remarks, but you always tarnish them with

disrespect to the person you’re addressing…even those who are

posting to the list for the very first time.

 

You’re being offensive.  Cool the attitude a bit…

 

Rick

Just as an FYI, it's better from a readability standpoint, and also
faster to use:

$(data).find('#update1');
