Question

given the following setup:

<a href="foo">Subject</a> &gt; 
<a href=bar">Negotiation</a>, 

1) Is it possible to select the “&gt”; that is located to the right of this a tag with jquery?
I do not want to select all “&gt”; on the page I am trying to find specific ones.

I tried .next() and .text() with jquery with no success.

I do not have access to the code as it is dynamically created from the backend which I have no access to so I need to do this with a document.ready

Answer 1

This would get the > –

$("a[href='foo']").get(0).nextSibling.nodeValue
