Question

Lets say i have the following code:

<p>
hello, how are you today, <a href="sfdjo.php">John</a>?
</p>

Is there a way to retrieve all of the text inside so that i have a string that reads:

'hello, how are you today, <a href="sfdjo.php">John</a>?'

Thanks for any help

Yes. Assuming you outer container had an ID or class name that you can reference, then this is simple using html() method like this:

var containedHTML = $('#container').html();
