Test it!

<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function send()
{
document.getElementById('div_content').value = document.getElementById('content').innerHTML;
document.forms['form1'].submit();
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <?php
    if($_POST)
    {
        echo $_POST['div_content'];
    }
    ?>
    <form name="form1" action="" method="post">
        <input type="hidden" id="div_content" name="div_content" />
        <div id="content">this is test</div>
        <input type="button" onclick="send()" value="Send" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>

By javascript I put div content ("innerHTML") into hidden tag!
And after that by javascript I send my from!
