Find text between two tags/nodes

Question

I thought that this would be rather straightforward, but I think the keywords are just too general so I keep getting query results for things like this and this.

For your last question "Given two tags, how can i find the text between them?"

Well, I have this solution for you.

var divData = $("#test").html(); // Getting html code inside div

Now, using preg_match() you can obtain the text between two words, in your case the text between spans, like this:

preg_match('/'.preg_quote($word1).'(.*?)'.preg_quote($word2).'/is', $html, $matches);

$word1 = '';
$word2 = '<';
$html = $_POST['divData']; // Via post/get you will have to send the html code gotten in "var divData"

and for each match(with a for cycle) concat em in a variable adding whitespaces between them. Then do an echo your result and in your call back function add it to your div
