XHR documentElement with HTML not XML

Hi I'm trying to get the content on an HTML document to manipulate but am having problems using documentElement.

Is that only available when working with XML? If so, is there a way to do anything similar when fetch from an HTML webpage?

Here is my code:

var xhr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
xhr.onload = function(){
if (this.status == 200) {
    var doc = this.responseText;
    var result = doc.documentElement;
}
};
xhr.open("GET","DOMAIN_NAME");
xhr.send();

the variable doc returns the contents of the website ok, but when I use doc.documentElement the variable result is empty, so using getElementsByID or anything else similar won't find anything.

You can always use WebView component. :)

HI,

i suppose this.responseTest returns string.

Ok thanks! I don't particularly want to do anything DOM, I know thats not possible. but in all the examples ive seen (including kitchensink) the way to process XML feeds is using these DOM operations. I thought I would ask if it was possible on HTML instead of XML.
