jqueryHow can I use jQuery to get the inner text of an element?
Using jQuery, you can get the inner text of an element with the .text()
method. This method takes no parameters and returns the text content of the selected element.
For example, given the following HTML:
<div id="example">
Hello World
</div>
You can use the following jQuery code to get the inner text of the element:
var text = $("#example").text();
console.log(text);
This will output the following to the console:
Hello World
The .text()
method can be broken down into the following parts:
$("#example")
- This part of the method selects the element with the id ofexample
using jQuery's selector syntax..text()
- This part of the method calls thetext()
method on the selected element, returning the inner text of the element.
For more information on the .text()
method, see this page.
