Titanium HTML Scrape

I could not 开发者_C百科be any more brand-spanking new to Titanium, so even finding the right search terms is a chore, but I need to prototype a means of loading external content into a mobile app. Lots of random poking around has yielded the url configuration property of the createWebView() method, but there's a twist (didn't you know there would be?). Now I need to extract only a particular DOM node (the div with an id value of content) and display only that content.

As best I can tell, it looks like the Kitchen Sink app's "XHR to Filesystem" demo looks like the right way to go, but I don't want to spin my wheels. Can anyone confirm whether I'm on the right track?

As a side question that I (admittedly) haven't researched much yet is whether I can load jQuery into my Titanium app and use it to extract the #content DOM from everything else.

I'd appreciate any thoughts.

you are on the right track with using the httpClient, you can also load up jQuery, but i think that it might be overkill if you are just trying to pull some content from XML
