[jQuery] select text for LI

[jQuery] select text for LI


I'm trying to select text inside list items. I'm using
jQuery's .text( ) method. Unfortunately, that returns the text of all
children as well. That means for a nested list like this
<ul>
<li>index.html</li>
<li>about
<ul>
<li>index.html</li>
<li>more.html</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
$('li').eq(1).text() returns
'about
index.html
more.html'
I just want to retrieve "about" not the text from the child list
items. Any ideas on how to do that?
thanks
