  • Sorry for not being totally clear with my question. I wish to load a collection of elements using jquery ajax into an array from an external page within the same domain. – Strontium_99 Feb 07 '12 at 10:46

Your question is very vague, but assuming you are using jQuery.get to fire an AJAX request to a remote page:

$.get("somePage.html", function(data) {
    var elems = $(data).filter(".myClass").get();
});

filter is used to reduce the elements of data to those matching the selector. get returns a normal array (rather than a jQuery object).

You cannot load elements from an external page in you script because that would be against the same origin policy. What you could do is using JSONP where I relate to this question: can jquery ajax call external webservice?
