Question

If I have html like this:

<td>Something here<span>spanText</span></td>

With jquery’s html method, i want to ONLY grab the span text rather than the whole thing. So here’s my jquery code:

var data = $(this).html();

This makes:

data = Something here; spanText

But i want data to be:

data = spanText

So is there some way to make the html method ONLY grab the span text rather than the whole thing?

Answer 1

How about this?

var data = $("span", this).html();
