Question

I need to find a form tag within an element and copy it. I feel I’m close but not quite there yet. He’s what I’ve got so far:

JS

if ($('#myElement').find('form').length > 0) {
        var myFormTag= $('#myElement').find('form').html();         
}

HTML

<div id="myElement">
    <h1>
        blah
    </h1>

    <form action="blah.php" method="post">              

        <table>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <select>
                    <option>option
                </select>
            </td>
            <td>
                <input type="text">
            </td>
        </tr>
        </table>
    </form>
</div>

I just need to return the opening tag:

<form action="blah.php" method="post">

UPDATE:

DEMO

$(document).ready(function(){
  var $myForm = $('#myElement').find('form').clone().empty();
  var myFormTag = $myForm[0].outerHTML.split("</")[0];
});

Result: <form action="blah.php" method="post">
