I am currently studying JavaScript and I have the following problem. Is it possible to get only the text from a div which has children inside it? I managed to make it work only for the text which appears before the div's children.
PS: I would like to mention that I am trying to achieve this using only pure JavaScript.
var Class = document.querySelectorAll('div,b');
for (var i=0; i < Class.length; i++){
console.log(Class[i].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
}
<div class="Bio">
My name is <b>John Doe</b> and I am coming from Texas
</div>
<div class="Bio">
My name is <b>Jean Frye</b> and I am coming from Alabama
</div>
It's not very clean way, but try something like this :
//get all div's with Bio css class (You can change it)
var Class = document.querySelectorAll('.Bio');
var sp=document.getElementById('res');
var arr=[]; //I put result into array so You can use it where You need
for (var i=0; i < Class.length; i++) {
for(var x=0;x<Class[i].childNodes.length;x++) {
if(Class[i].childNodes[x].nodeValue==null) {
//get value, innerHTML, from <b>
//res.innerHTML+=Class[i].childNodes[x].innerHTML+'<br>';
arr.push(Class[i].childNodes[x].innerHTML);
} else {
//get div innerHTML (before,after every child node
//res.innerHTML+=Class[i].childNodes[x].nodeValue+'<br>';
arr.push(Class[i].childNodes[x].nodeValue);
}
}
}
//show result into that span
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++) {
res.innerHTML+=arr[i]+'<br>';
}
<div class="Bio">
My name is <b>John Doe</b> and I am coming from Texas
</div>
<div class="Bio">
My name is <b>Jean Frye</b> and I am coming from Alabama
</div>
<br><br>
<!-- I use this span to show result -->
<span id="res"></span>
