Get element value from web page using jQuery $.get

Question

I have the following script that grabs all the contents from my Intranet Home Page and displays it on a page.

I was wondering, is it possible to just get the value inside this element <div id="username">my.username</div> that is on my home page?

Current Code:

<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<script type="text/javascript">
$.get('http://intranet', function(data){ 
    $(data).appendTo(document.body); 
    //$('#username').attr('id')
});
</script>

@KARASZIIstván Inside the home page HTML is <div id="username">my.username</div> — michaelmcgurk

If I understand you correctly, then this should work:

$.get('http://intranet', function(data){ 
    var username = $('#username', data).text();
    alert(username);
});
