I have no idea what im doing wrong, but I have a JSON string with this:
jsonp443489({"content":"<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>Title</title></head><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html>"});
I need to parse this to be able to modify the content. Like, for example, id want to grab the <p>'s content.
Now, in jQuery if i do:
console.log($(json.content).html());
It returns Title.
If i do:
console.log($('p',json.content));
It returns [], or, an empty array.
Finally, if I do just: console.log($(json.content));
It returns [<title>Title</title>,<p>Hello World</p>]
Which is fine, but then I cant do .find() or anything. Since I wont know what the HTML will be, i cant use $(json.content)[1].
Any ideas?
==UPDATE==
After hacking at this for a couple hours i decided to try XML. My example XML was:
<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><doc><item>One</item><item>Two</item></doc>
It was giving me the same grief, then it hit me, its a JS object, not a string and jQuery is expecting a string. I went and did
$(JSON.stringify(json.content)).find('item')
And voila! I got an array of two items. I was pretty excited but then when I went and tried it with HTML again (using the JSONP return HTML snippet above):
console.log($(JSON.stringify(json.content)).find('p'));
I still get an empty array. It's driving me mad... Any more ideas?

There might be a better way, but this works (retrieves the p elements):
$('<div />', {html: json.content}).find('p');
