Question

The following Javascript code:

o_value.html();

give me

<span id="legaloffice_city_value">some text</span>

All that I want now is to modify, javascript code, to just get: legaloffice_city_value. What can I do?

Answer 1

o_value.find("span")[0].id

working example: http://jsfiddle.net/6wUsT/

the reason that we are using the [0] part here is that the jquery find() function will return a collection of all matched elements according to the selector provided (in our case, the span tag name).

so we should use the indexer to access our item inside the collection.
give it a try and let me know
