Just for the record, if you weren't able to modify the html, you could
use my Text Children plugin, which, unlike .text(). isn't recursive:

Yeah. Serious 'duh' moment on my part. Thanks.

Can you just make life REALLY easy on yourself and put the text in a
<span> tag or something?
ie/
<ul>
<li><span>List Item1</span></li>
<li><span>List Item2</span>
<ul>
<li>Sub Item1</li>
<li>Sub Item2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
then

would make it a snap to get the text()

Hi,
I'm trying to traverse a list that has some sub-lists nested, i.e.
<ul>
<li>List Item1</li>
<li>List Item2
<ul>
<li>Sub Item1</li>
<li>Sub Item2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I'm trying to grab the text of List Item2, but without the text of
the
sublist items. Right now if I use:
$('ul li').text() -- it returns the text of the List Item and the
text of any sub items.
I'm thinking I may have to write a regular expression to filter out
the sublist, but was wondering if jQuery could handle this? Any
ideas
appreciated.
