Answer 1

You can use innerHtml property as :-

divObj= document.getElementById("timecounter")

   alert (divObj.innerHTML);

Answer 2

First, find the element. The fastest way is by ID . Next, use innerHTML to get the HTML content of the element.

document.getElementById('timecounter').innerHTML;

Answer 3

Since you mentioned jQuery in both your question tag and title, here's a jQuery-specific solution to your problem:

var timecounter_val = $('#timecounter').html(); // Store HTML of `timecounter` `div` in `timecounter_val` variable.

If you want, you can also use javascript to access HTML of the div element. Here's how you can do that.

var timecounter_val = document.getElementById('timecounter').innerHTML;

Answer 4

you can use $.ajax to do the action. Details on $.ajax or you can use the Details on $.post which you are currently using, just change the code as below

$.post("test_post.php", {
        param: $("timecounter").html()
    },
    function(data, status) {
        alert("Data: " + data + "\nStatus: " + status);
    });

In server you can access it using the word param

Hope this helps :)
