Search for the <strong> tag inside this div tag using jQuery

Question

My house is as follows:

<div class="blah">
  <a href=""><img .. ></a>
  <strong>blah blah</strong>
  <a href=""><img /></a>
</div>

How can I get the value of strong when I know that the class is “blah”?

$(".blah").find("strong") does not work?

Answer 1

Try the following:

$(".blah").find("strong").html();

$ (". blah"). find ("strong") will return a jQuery object, not the content.

Answer 2

var value = $('.blah strong').html();

It's easier than pim to answer, but it works courageously the same. It finds all descendants of .blah, which are strong tags, and returns the html content of the first.

Answer 3

try it

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        alert($(".blah > strong").text());
    });
</script>

    <div class="blah">
    <a href="#">
        <img src="#" /></a> <strong>blah blah</strong>
   </div>
