jQuery parse ajax response data and get element id - value

Question

I have a jQuery ajax get that will return an html text. From this one I need to extract the h3 element (with id='title') value: THIS IS TITLE.

Can I achieve this with jQuery?

<div class="content">
   <h3 id="title">THIS IS TITLE</h3>
   .....
</div>

and here is the call:

  $.ajax({
      url: url,
      type: 'GET',
      cache:false,
      success: function (data) { // data is the html text returned

       alert('The title is: ' + TITLE HERE);

      }
  });

Use find() method to get the value like below,

$(data).find('#title').text()
