I'm using jQuery to load the result of a PHP script into a variable. The script is passed something that the user typed with a GET request. I want to take just what the script spit out into its <body> tag. Here's what I've tried:
JS:
function loader() {
var typed = $('#i').val(); //get what user typed in
$.get("script.php", {i: typed}, function(loaded) {dataloaded = loaded;});
alert($(dataloaded).find('body'))
}
But it just displays [Objec object]. How can I get a useful value that is just the contents of the body of a loaded page?
I know the PHP works, I just need the JS.
The script echos something like 1!!2 (two numbers separated by two exclamation points).
Thanks!
