My question is that if i have to give a preview of the text only using jquery suppose i have this in a variable named html how to display only few parts of the text ignoring the images

       <div id="preview"></div>
       $("#preview").val("//display only text in the variable named html")

You could filter images from the html:

var someHtml = '....';
$('#preview').html($(someHtml).filter(':not("img")'));
