jquery .load() page then parse html

I have used the line below in my app. But now I need to parse the html loaded before I show it. Whats the best way to get certain html elements.

$("#div").load("page.html");

Thanks

Now I am using this but having trouble geting the title attribute of a div with the id "div".

function get_title()
{
    $.get("test.html", function(data) {
        var data = $(data);
        var title = $("#div", data).attr("title");

        alert(title);
    });
}

The html in the var data looks like this.

<div id="div" title="title example">
<p>
    Content
</p>
<p>
    Content
</p>
</div>

Thanks again
