I think this might help you... Don't be too hard on me. This is my first post :p

var element_change_content_page1 = "element_id_page1";
var page2_datatype = "html";
var filename_page2 = "logged.html";
var target_element_id_page2 = "element_id_page2";
var target_element_type_page2 = "div"

$.get( filename_page2 , function(response, status){
//You can also use jQuery " $.post() " Method instead of " $.get() "
//Source: http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/ajax_get.asp
var data = $('
' + response + '
');
var target_element = data.find( target_element_type_page2 + '#'+ target_element_id_page2 )[0]; //There "might" be more div elements with the same id: specify index
if(typeof target_element !== 'undefined'){
    //Page2 contains specified element
    var container = document.getElementById( element_change_content_page1 );
    container.innerHTML = "Content is changed!!!";
} else {
    //Page2 DOES NOT contain specified element
}
}, page2_datatype);
