I'm trying to get the text contents of a list item that also contains a nested list -- but only want the text content of the parent <li>, and not the <ul> also contained within it. Markup would look something like:
<ul class="specialList"> <li>The list item text <ul> <li><a href="#">Sub item one</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub item two</a></li> <li><a href="#">Sub item three</a></li> </ul> </li> </ul> So what I'm trying to get jQuery to capture is "The list item text", but nothing else in that <li>... Is there a way to accomplish this? Thank you!
