Parsing returned HTML from jQuery AJAX request

Question

What I\'m trying to do seems simple: get an HTML page through $.ajax() and pull out a value from it.

$(function () {
    $.ajax({

Why don't you just use the load method?

$( "#wtf" ).load( "/echo/html #link" );

Or, here's your fiddle fixed and working:
