How can you display a selected element such as a <div> from another website within an <iframe> on your website?

for example if you wanted to display the feed of your own blog within another set of blogs that you own. or if you wanted to display something from a site that you do not own into a container in your own website. Normally in an iframe you put the entire site, but what if you just want one element of that page? Looking very specifically for technical answers not philosophical or business suggestions, legal issues, etc.
Answer:

You can definitely do that if you own both the domains, also there is also the possibility of doing it when someone else owns it too.. Kindly refer 'Cross Document Messaging'. It is still very much a work in progress, but it does what you ask for. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/web-messaging.html

You could scrape the page - say once every 24 hours - and grab what you want. There are plenty of articles out there on how to scrape a page.
