Pretty basic.

jQuery.ajax() – jQuery API

You'll find lots of examples near the bottom.

The data will contain the text from the page, do what you want with it. In this case, set the #responseArea text to contain it.

$.ajax({
   url: "yourPage.php",
   success: function(data){
     $("#responseArea").text(data);
   }
 });
