jQuery Parsing HTML results in Object doesnt support Property error

I have to convert table to csv I am using following logic to concatenate strings of each td 

 var $text=(table.rows[0].cells[i].innerHTML.split(", ").join("")).toString();

Assume $ text actually holds the <font class="Major">testcasedff</font>;

When I tried to use Find function for extracting data 

var data=$text.find('font').text();

It actually doesnt work .I am using IE9 as test browser and im getting the following script error

Line: 300 Error: Object doesn't support property or method 'find'

Please refer to the Fiddle below

Try:

In the following row JQuery convert an HTML Element from string to JQuery Object and so your op will be simplified:

var fontObj = $("<font class='Major'>this is a test</font>");
var $textfontObj.text();

In pure javascript You will need to create a dummy element, insert yout HTML Element from string and then get the desired result:

var targetEleContainer = document.createElement('div');
targetEleContainer.innerHTML = "<font class='Major'>this is a test</font>";
var out2=(targetEleContainer.firstChild).innerHTML;

bye

textContent dom Property and Parse html works 

  var $text="<font class='Major'>this is a test</font>";

  var result='';
   var data=$.parseHTML($text);
            $.each(data, function (i, el) {
            result += el.textContent;
            });

 alert(result);
