XMLHTTPRequest Handling HTML Response

Normally, when we send back XML to XMLHttpRequest, request.responseXML will return the parsed DOM tree. Is it possible to retrieve a parsed DOM tree too if we return HTML (content-type: texl/html) instead of XML? For example, my XMLHttpRequest could request a normal HTML page and retrieve a specific tag from it.

The content type of the page has to be XML

Why not return XHTML, which is valid XML, and be done with it?

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
