Question

i am doing this:

 if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
                var checkText = $(this).next('a').text();

to get the node text of one of the nodes in my treeview

here is the HTML source:

<a class="TreeView1_0" href="javascript:__doPostBack('TreeView1','sPreAnalytical\\Labels\\GoodStuff')" onclick="TreeView_SelectNode(TreeView1_Data, this,'TreeView1t2');" id="TreeView1t2">Specimen collection device mislabeled/unlabeled by practice</a>

the jquery line above returns:

Specimen collection device mislabeled/unlabeled by practice

however i need to return:

GoodStuff

how do i do it?

please note that i do not always have \\Labels\\ in the text

what DOES stay constant is this: href="javascript:__doPostBack('

if it’s much simpler i am even happy returning this:

javascript:__doPostBack('TreeView1','sPreAnalytical\\Labels\\GoodStuff')

How about the code below or something similar?

    var hrefValue = $(this).next('a').attr('href');
    var trimIndex = hrefValue.lastIndexOf('\\') + 1;
    var checkText =  hrefValue.substr(trimIndex, hrefValue.length - 2);
