Example, lets say I have L1.html and L2.html.
In L1.html, I have a <div id='name'></div>.
Is it possible to call that 'div' in L2.html using its 'id?

If possible, how? Can you give a sample? Thanks in advance.

No, you don't have permission to go across web page. How would you find where the other page is located at? Even if the page is on the same website, you still can't access it directly.

There is a workaround but the value in the other web page must be static (cannot change) and you need a server. You could use Ajax to call and render the page in xml or text, and then parse the returned content to find the specific content (in this case is your div) from the responseText or responseXML.
