How do i get the html on '#container' including '#container' and not just what's inside it.

<div id=container>

 <div id=one>test 1 </div>

 <div id=two>test 2 </div>

 <div id=three>test 3 </div>

 <div id=four>test 4 </div>

</div>

I have this which gets the html inside #container. it does not include the #container element itself. That's what i'm looking to do

var x = $('#container').html();

$('#save').val(x);

If you wrap the container in a dummy P tag you will get the container HTML also.

All you need to do is

var x = $('#container').wrap('<p/>').parent().html();

To unwrap()the <p> tag when done, you can add

$('#container').unwrap();
