Strip HTML from Text JavaScript

I have stored a string in the format <td> value1 </td> <td> value2 </td> <td> value3 </td> into a JavaScript variable. How can I get the values value1, value2, and value3 and store these into an array using jQuery?

Answer 1

Inspired by Tadeck’s solution, I’ve decided to go more functional-style:

var values = $('<td>value1</td><td>value2</td><td>value3</td>')
  .filter("td") // optional
  .map(function(){return $(this).text()})
