If it's coming in from a link, you'll probably want to do it with AJAX:

$("#YOUR_ELEMENT").load("THE_CONTENT_TO_LOAD");

However, keep in mind if you're trying to pull HTML from a site on a different domain you'll need to use server proxies and all that stuff...kind of out of the scope of the question.
