Here is the code that you are looking for :
$.ajax({
url: 'http://www.somesite.com/',
type: 'GET',
success: function(res) {
var data = $.parseHTML(res); //<----try with $.parseHTML().
// data you will get full html code from given url
// this is how you can fetch any element from html that fetched from url
$(data).find('div.content').each(function(){
$('#here').append($(this).html());
});
}
});
Note : This is assuming that the website enables CORS which is pretty uncommon for most sites in general.( as Patrick Roberts said. Thanks for this point :) )
