Question

So I have something like this:

<span class="a"> Contents <span class="b">Herp</span><br></span>

…where the “contents” may vary from a string, to a single image to multiple linebreaks. I need to define the “contents” as a variable without getting the b.span and br.

How do you do it? Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

Use .contents() to get all the contents, then apply the .slice() method to slice off the last two:

$("span.a").contents().slice(0,-2)
