Question

Jquery problem getting text from a script tag?

Answer 1

+1 A:

Use .html() instead for better support with ie.

You can also look at: http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Metadata for storing information in script tags.

Answer 2

+2 A:

You might have more luck with .html() and if that doesn't work try this.innerHtml. I did not test this however.

I do have another tip for your code however. If you want only scripts of type code you can have a single selector instead of having to check the attribute in the loop:

$("script[type=code]").each(function() {
    alert($(this).html());
    alert(this.innerHtml);
});

.html() works great, thanks.

        <script type="code">

        </script>
    </body>
