[jQuery] Possible to use a non ID selector in .load()?

[Geuis]

I'm loading a full page using .load() and trying to use a selector to
only get part of the page, however it doesn't seem to be working. Is
it necessary that the selector always start with an id?

My code:

        $('#mydiv').load('/path/index.php body>center>table>tbody>tr:eq(2)
>td>table>tbody>tr');

Examples I've seen:

        $('#mydiv').load('/path/index.php #container>table');
