You can't get the content correctly with html, because it only gives you innerHTML of the div element.

You can have a reference to DOM element of that div.

$("#divid").get(0);

with this reference you can move that element to any place in DOM trees.

I would continue to do as you are doing to get the html, and then use the jquery form plugin to get the values of the fields. http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#api

var value = $('#divid').fieldValue();

value will be an array of values, you may also like fieldSerialize() which return the name value pairs url encoded.
