[jQuery] Re: $("something").text() doesn't preserve whitespace in IE
Thanks for opening the ticket. I could use that but I don't think it
would give me what I'm looking for.. my is full of HTML junk
(needed for syntax highlighting) from Textmate. Have a look at
http://pastie.org/230104 for an example.

As a workaround, you can use an expression like this:
var pre = $("").get(0);
alert(pre.innerText || pre.textContent);
All the browsers seem to support one property or the other--or both.
Their text output isn't exactly the same in all cases, but at least
there's some sort of whitespace.
The additional case that jQuery's .text() has to handle is XML, where
neither of these properties are available. I guess that's why it
wasn't used.

The problem for me is that using text() in IE 6/7 doesn't preserve whitespace...

[jQuery] Re: $("something").text() doesn't preserve whitespace in IE
html() would be no good for what I'm trying to do. Basically I have
blocks which contain pre-formatted source code (including a lot
of extra html spans and what not for syntax highlighting and line
numbering). I then take the text() of the 's and insert it into a
which will now contain a plain text version of the code
from the . Works perfectly in anything but IE.

I'm fairly certain that our .text() support has changed a lot since
October 2006 (!). It would be interesting to re-examine this issue -
if there are any current problems I know that we'd really like to get
them fixed.

I noticed that too quite a while back, if you run the test in this
message does it still do the same thing?
