parsing html file using jquery

Hi I have extracted the html source code from a website using jquery. I am trying to extract link under a specific tag which is of the form <p class="title"> <a href="some link "> I am trying to extract the link under a href. To extract the html i did

$.get("link",function(data){ alert($data('p').attr('title')); }

data contains the html source code. The alert box shows as undefined. Is it not possible to extract the

tag with data in this format? I am not able to get how to extract the link under the href tag. Please help

Original Solution (finds first link)

$.get("link",function(data){ alert($(data).find('p.title a').attr('href')); }

Modified Solution (finds all links)

$.get("link", function(data) {
    var links = [];

    $(data).find('p.title a').each(function() {
        links.push($(this).attr('href'));
    });

    alert(links.join(', '));
});

From your example it looks like you should be doing this:

$.get("link",function(data){ alert($(data).find('p.title a').attr('href')); }
