Question

I have a paragraph

 <div id="unique"> Lorem ipsum dolor</p>

I want to get each word inside this paragraph. I already tried doing

 var $texts = $("#unique");
 $texts.each(function(i, text){
 var str = $(text).text();
    console.log(text);
 });

But this only gives me the whole text “Lorem ipsum dolor” and not “Lorem”,”ipsum” and “dolor”. Can anyone help me regarding this?

Use the string prototype .split().

$.each($('#unique').text().split(' '), function(i, text) {
    console.log(text);
});
