[jQuery] Accessing un-parented text inside a known object
in Using jQuery
•
15 years ago
Hi folks, simple question I think.
Given this html:
<p id="foo">THIS IS THE TEXT I WANT<span class="bar> not this</span>
or this
...how do you access the text 'THIS IS THE TEXT I WANT' through
jQuery?
In DOM-speak, it's this:
document.getElementById('foo').childNodes[0].nodeValue
This finds span.bar, as I expected, but not what I want:
jQuery('#zzz :first')
Problem is that I want the text of the first child node, not the first
child element.
Thanks,
