javascript - GET entire div with its elements and send it with php mail function

Question

I am trying to make an function for users to send an e-mail, the e-mail should contain only 1 div from the page(note: that div has elements previously added with the jquery drag and clone function). I dont have an idea how to copy the entire div with its child elements and add them into a hidden field so that I could later send thim with POST method and then send that with e-mail function. Any ideas and recommendations?

Thank you for your time and help

Say for example your html is something like

<div id="email-data">
    <div id="content">
        some Data Here
    </div>
</div>
<a id="sendEmail" >Send Email</a>

you can use jquery to select the div and send data through ajax to a php file and then send email from that file

$(document).ready(function(){

  $('#sendEmail').click(function(){
     $.ajax({
         type: 'POST',
         url: 'sendEmail.php',
         data: { content: $('#email-data').html()}
     });
  });

});

And in the back end you could probably check for $_POST['content'] (say im using php) and modify your logic accordingly . Here's the Jsfiddle code
