If it is equal div, you must capture .text().

Some general tips, even if you get an answer

.val () = getting value from elements such as text, text field, selection, checkbox

.text () = getting text values ​​( excludes html tags ) from elements such as text, text field, selection, checkbox

.html() = html , span, div p table..etc..

<input type="text" id="someid" value="1234" />
$('#someid').val(); //1234
<p>bla bla bla<span>hello</span></p>
$('p').text(); //bla bla bla
$('p').html(); //bla bla bla<span>hello</span>

Change the line with ...
