How do I select text nodes with jQuery?

Question

I would like to get all descendant text nodes of an element, as a jQuery collection. What is the best way to do that?

Answer 1

Can also be done like this:

var textContents = $(document.getElementById("ElementId").childNodes).filter(function(){
        return this.nodeType == 3;
});

The above code filters the textNodes from direct children child nodes of a given element.
