Navigating text string that contains HTML of a page as DOM object?

Hello.

First, with AJAX I will get a remote web page into a string. Thus, a
string will contain HTML tags and such. I will need to extract text
from one <span> for which I know the ID the inner text.

Is it possible to access in this way "string variable".getElementByID()
somehow?

Thank you.

PS: Just thinking of a proper/efficient way to extract the information
from such a string. I am open to other ideas. I could load that page in
IFRAME and get my access to DOM that way, yet probably it is not an
eligant solution.

Thank you again.
