I am trying to bind a repeater after an AJAX response. Step 1 : Make an Ajax call to the fucntion in the code behind:
Step 2 : Do some business logic and finally bind the data to the repeater
Step 3 : Get the response back from the codebehind to the Ajax call
Step 4 : Once we get the response back what is the right way to strip out extra HTML for example the head and body tags etc.

One way is to put a "breaker" logic. for example :

<html><body>
#breaker
REPEATER control HERE
#breaker
</html></body>

and once I get the response back I use a JS function to find anything between the #breaker tags and strip out anything outside and I should get the required HTML response of only the repeated items.

Is this the only / Best way to achieve this kind of functionality?
