Select all divs with class from var

Question

I need to select all divs with class="test" from a variable and put them into another div.

var all = xmlhttp.responseText;
var x = $(all > '.test');    <-- how to write correctly ?
$('.anotherdiv').prepend(x);

Answer 1

Using jQuery filter() method:

var x = $(all).filter('div.test');

Or using find():

var x = $(all).find('div.test');

Now it depends value of your string all

Answer 2

$('<div />', {html : all}).find('.test').prependTo('.anotherdiv');
