I fear these aren't going to work in 1.3 as the new selector engine
doesn't handle textnodes anymore!

sorry I'm really late to this thread, but it seems like my Text
Children plugin would help in this situation:

The Text Children Plugin is a simple little jQuery plugin to return
textual content from selected elements. Unlike jQuery's built-

hello, Im kinda new in jquery so maybe its a begginer question.
I have a page with a div containing some text and a combobox.
something like that
div id=testText
hello this is text and this is combobox
selectoption value='1'1/optionoption
This is quite tricky. I could not figure out how to get the text
(probably I should go home:) ).
If there is no other solution here is a dirty trick:
var tmp = $('#testText select');
//remove the select box
$('#testText select').remove();
// get the text within the div
var txt =
$(#testText).clone().remove('select').text()
won't work as the remove method doesn't remove the elements from the
jQuery object, just from the DOM. Here's how it should work:
var e = $(#testText).clone();
var select = e.find('select')[0];
e[0].removeChild(select);
alert( e.text() );

Hello,
maybe it could be easier to use the good old DOM in this scenario:
var textNode = $('#testText').get().firstChild; // now we have the
textNode
var textRaw = textNode.nodeValue; // now we have the text string with
all the white-space around
var text = $.trim(textRaw); // we strip the
Hi,
I thank you all for your help.
I guess I'll go with Bohdan's suggestion.
I'll put the text inside another tag (probably p tag...).
thanks again for all your help,
if you think of anything else please let me know.

Notice that both will keep the linebreaks. if text() could handle
textnodes this would be much easier.
