How get element from the html which one have as a string

Question

I have a stupid problem. An `jQuery.ajax` request return me a full HTML text as a string. I receive such response in an case of error on the server. The server give me an error description which I want to place inside of the corresponding place of my current page. So now the question: I have a string contains full HTML document (which is not an XML!!! see `

` element inside). I need to have for example only BODY part as a jQuery object. Then I could append it to the corresponding part of my page. Here is an example of the string which I need to parse: ``` The resource cannot be found.

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Accepted Answer

And the must-have non-jQuery answer: ``` var bodyHtml = /([\s\S]*)<\/body>/.exec(entirePageHTML)[1]; ``` This will return only whats inside the body tags. UPDATE this accepts the attributes set on the body tag
