Possible Duplicate:
How do I select text nodes with jQuery?

What is the correct way to deal with texts outside the tags

I tried all the methods, but all failed

And I experimented with this

 <script>

  $(function(){
  var A = $(".A").text();
  var B = $(".B").text();
  var C = $(".C").text();
  var D = $(".D").text();
  $("#BD").text(A+B+C+D);
      });

  </script>

  <body>

   <div>
    <span class="A"></span>6
    <span class="B"></span>8
    <span class="C"></span>3
    <span class="D"></span>9
  </div>

  <div id="BD"></div>
  </body>

As well as this

<script>

$(function(){
 var A = $(".A").text();
 var B = $(".B").text();
 var C = $(".C").text();
 var D = $(".D").text();
  alert(A+B+C+D);
});

 </script>

But they all didn’t work

How can I collect the numbers correctly?!

    You could clone the div and remove the span elements inside so then retrieve the div text with .text(), just do:

    $('#BD').text( $('.A').parent().clone().children('span').remove().end().text() );
    

    See working demo
