Parsing HTML from a string

var 
    parser = new DOMParser(),
    d = parser.parseFromString('<?xml version="1.0"?><div class="a">Hello</div>', 'application/xhtml+xml');

console.log(d.querySelector('*'));
console.log(d.querySelector('div'));
console.log(d.querySelector('div.a'));

The first two selectors work

The last selector.... the class selector.... returns null :(

Any ideas why?

Needing this to query html results from AJAX, and dont want to add it to the main DOM to do so.

Because your html/xml is invalid. Try changning </a> to </div>

Try it:

console.log(d.querySelector('div[class=a]'));
