javascript - How do I parse the text inside a div with other elements? -

this question has answer here:

• get text node of element 8 answers

i have html external website need parse jquery. i'm interested in text inside main div (like described in code).

the problem is, if use $('#main').text() texts inside div, nested divs.

<div id="main">      <div><h1>....</h1></div>     <div>other text</div>    want parse text    <div></div>   <div></div>  </div> 

any advice?

with jquery can use contents() give access node elements inside div, after can filter textnodes:

var nodetext = $('#main').contents().filter(function(){    return this.nodetype === 3 && $.trim(this.nodevalue) !== '';  }).text()    console.log(nodetext)

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>  <div id="main">      <div><h1>....</h1></div>      <div>other text</div>    want parse text    <div></div>    <div></div>  </div>
