Using jQuery to remove a second form element without losing the child elements

// Captures the children
            var children = $("form:eq(1)").children();
            // Removes the form
            $("form:eq(1)").remove();
            // append the child elements back into the DOM
            $("#fillDiv").append(children);

// grab the child nodes
var children = $('#badForm').children();
// or var children = $('#badForm > *');

// move them to the body
$(body).append(children);

// remove the form
$('#badForm').remove();

$.ajax({
    type: "get",
    url: "url",
    data: ,
    cache: false,
    success: function(data){

    }
});

$(data).find('#whatYouNeed').appendTo('#whereYouNeed')
