I want to find every "a" tag in this HTML string
$(document).ready(function(data) {
$.get('test.html',
function(responseText){
//find each a tag
}, "html"
)
});
Why is that so damn difficult for me ?

getting all links and doing something with them:
$.get('test.html', function(responseText) {
var $response = $(responseText);
var $links = $response.find('a');
$links.each(function(index, $link) {
// go nuts
});
});
for more, read the jQuery documentation - its pretty good!

cool, but how do I put the links a variable ? E.g var $links = $response.find('a');
I am not sure whether any of the code works if the responseText is a string.
You have to HtmlEncode it using jQuery first and then find your anchor tag.
Example:
$("<div/>").html(responseText).find('a').each(function(idx, elm) {
//here are your anchors
//alert(elm.href);
});

Hope this helps.

try this:
$(responseText).find('a')

Create a jQuery object of the HTML and use .find():
$(responseText).find('a');

It seems that you get the right answer. But you could have faced a link in plain text without any reference tag to find it as I did.
I've found this jquery plugin that can indetify links inside a text and then create the tags
Hope It will help somebody
