hello, Im kinda new in jquery so maybe its a begginer question. I have a page with a div containing some text and a combobox. something like that
<div id="testText"> hello this is text and this is combobox <select><option value='1'>1</option><option value='2'>2</option><option value='3'>3</option></select></div> I wrote a function which return the text from the div. alert($('#testText').text()); My problem is that the function also return the text inside the combobox. is there a way to filter out the combobox text? the only workaround I can think of is to wrap my text in another div and call its text. This workaround will be a bit complicated for me because the text on my page is dynamic and it can come after the input field or before the input field so I just want to get the text inside the div without the input fields text... (This only happens with combobox). tnx, Kazuar -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/function-text%28%29-in-jquery-tp21410667s27240p21410667.html Sent from the jQuery General Discussion mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
