help with jquery selector

Question

hi! i have this html block:

<p><strong>this is the title</strong>this is the content</p>

how do i get only the "this is the content" string with jQuery?

thank you :)

Try this: http://jsfiddle.net/mTn7G/

var text = $('p').contents().last().text();

The .contents() method gets all child elements, including text nodes, while .last() will give you the last one, and .text() will return its text content.
