Extract div html from jquery object

This is probably simple but I've never had to do it. I'm loading another page on the site and want to extract the html from a div with the id of terms_text.

So I am loading the data (it's there no problem), and am trying to filter it but am receiving undefined for my $html variable. Any ideas?

 function test () {
 $.get("/terms?" + new Date().getTime(), function(data){
     var $html = $(data).filter('#terms_text').html();
     alert($html);
});
}

You probably need to use $(data).find('#terms_text') instead of $(data).filter('#terms_text'). Either that or there just is no element returned in /terms... with the id terms_text
