It seems that the DOMParser does not support parse a html string into
HTMLDocument? Is there a way to create the Document with a given
string?

Thank you !

document.write(mytext);

You can use the hidden iframe trick to parse the HTML.

The microsummary service does this with a hidden iframe. Based on
discussions with the layout guys, this seems to be the best way of doing
it currently.
