jQuery.get() div html data from external page

Question

When we use jQuery load() we can define a DIV on the external page we want to load into our content.

Is there a similar way to get the html data from a specific DIV from an external page? Something like this?

var url = someurl;
var div = specificdiv
    $.get(someurl+' '+specificdiv , function(data) {
        $('#target_div').html(data);
    });

This is a job for AJAX! Although not sure if you'll have issues with cross-domain urls. BTW: this might help - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2496491/jquery-ajax-success-function-not-rendering-html-with-jquery-ui-elements — Yzmir Ramirez, Sep 10 '11 at 18:52
