Question

temp = $.jstree._focused().get_selected().html()

Gave me a block of html. There is a button inside of that html:

<button class="square_button button_background" type="button" onclick="run_through_ajax('login','basics')">
 run
</button>

How can I search ONLY inside temp variable and get the value of onclick?

I am asking jQuery code that searches inside temp variable for button and gives me onclick.

Note that temp is not equal only <button class="square_button button_background" type="button" onclick="run_through_ajax('login','basics')">

Answer 1

Instead of getting the actual HTML, search within $.jstree._focused().get_selected() using find().

e.g.

$.jstree._focused().get_selected().find('button').first().attr('onclick')

Does that work?
