Load PHP value with jquery into textbox inside of jquery statement

Im trying to load a numeric value from the database into the textbox named jTagLabel. Its from the JTag API, and the way it is set up, the html code is inside of a jquery.

So first I make a jquery statement to load the value of a span called span1 from a php file called tag count. Ive tested this part and it works fine.

$('#jTagLabel.val()').load('tagcount.php #span1');

$('<div style="width:'+options.defaultWidth+'px;height:'+options.defaultHeight+'px"class="jTagDrag">       <div class="jTagSave"><div class="jTagInput"><input type="text" value="" id="jTagLabel"></div><div class="jTagSaveClose"></div><div class="jTagSaveBtn"></div><div style="clear:both"></div></div>').appendTo(overlay);

What im trying to do is make the .load appear as the value=" " of "id=JTagLabel" above. Any and all help is appreciated.

*Note, the Jquery .load statement is written after the div statement, but for this example, i placed it first.

Something like this perhaps?

$.get('tagcount.php', function(data) {
    var span_text = $('<div>')
                    .append(data)
                    .find('#span1').html();

    $('#jTagLabel').val(span_text);
});

That's how .load() does things. It does try to remove <script> tags though.
