sorry I'm really late to this thread, but it seems like my Text
Children plugin would help in this situation:
http://plugins.learningjquery.com/textchildren/
"The Text Children Plugin is a simple little jQuery plugin to return
textual content from selected elements. Unlike jQuery's built-
in .text() method, the textChildren plugin does not recurse through
the selected elements' descendants."

$('#testText').contents(':not(select)')[0].nodeValue;

I fear these aren't going to work in 1.3 as the new selector engine
doesn't handle textnodes anymore!

There are two alternatives:
$('#testText').contents(':not(select)')[0].nodeValue;
this one is unsupported but works too:
$('#testText').contents('[nodeType=3]')[0].nodeValue;
Notice that both will keep the linebreaks. if text() could handle
textnodes this would be much easier.

Hi,
I thank you all for your help.
I guess I'll go with Bohdan's suggestion.
I'll put the text inside another tag (probably p tag...).
thanks again for all your help,
if you think of anything else please let me know.

Hello,
maybe it could be easier to use the good old DOM in this scenario:
var textNode = $('#testText').get().firstChild; // now we have the
textNode
var textRaw = textNode.nodeValue; // now we have the text string
with
all the white-space around
var text = $.trim(textRaw); // we strip the trailing white-space
using
the jQuery trim function
Of course this works as expected only if the text you're looking
for
is placed in the #testText's first textNode.
I'd recommend using more meaningful markup instead and putting the
text inside <p> element. ;)

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
