[jQuery] How to get text content in nested list
I'm trying to get the text contents of a list item that also contains
a nested list -- but only want the text content of the parent <li>,
and not the <ul> also contained within it. Markup would look something
like:
<ul class="specialList">
<li>The list item text
<ul>
<li><a href="#">Sub item one</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub item two</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Sub item three</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
So what I'm trying to get jQuery to capture is "The list item text",
but nothing else in that <li>...
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thank you!
