jquery.get-enhanced plugin

Extend $.get() to add selector support. Usage is identical, except you can add a selector to get a page fragment, like you can with $.load

Note that any requests without a selector in them will simply be passed back to the native jQuery.get() method. Requires jQuery 1.3.2+

Demo

Click the button below to fetch only the #target element of the page, and then do some manipulation on the output.

Example code

What it does

The plugin simply adds selector support to enable $.get'ing of page fragments, to save you having to slice the response yourself. Super lightweight and non-intrusive, it will just pass back to the original $.get() method once its work is done.

It means that you can 'do stuff' with the content before appending it to the DOM:

e.g. $('.target').html(data.replace(/cool/ig, 'AMAZING'));

Usage

Usage is identical to the jQuery get() function.
