Hi I am ...">

Accessing DOM Elements Using jQuery

Let's say I have the following DOM element in my piece of code:

<div id="test">
    <div id="t2">
       Hi I am
       <b>Gopi</b>
       and am 20 years old.
       <p id="div2">
         <button onclick="alert('lol')">Check</button>
       </p>
    </div>
</div>

Suppose I wanted to go through the contents of div # t2.

$("#t2").children()gives tags <b>and <p>.

So , how should I access it in order to get values ​​in the form of an array containing " Hi I am", " <b>....</b>", " and am 20 years old.", " <p>.....</p> ?

Use your own DOM Node :

$('#t2')[0].childNodes

Gives you the array you want.

You probably want to trim the entries before using them with $. trim , since the actual text node contains all the spaces in your HTML.

.get()

var arr = $("#t2").contents().get();

, , .contents() ,

text html ,

 [text1,html1,text2,html2,text3]

 //Where
 text1 == Hi I am
 html1 == <b>Gopi</b>
 text2 == and am 20 years old. 
 html2 == <p id="div2"><button onclick="alert('lol')">Check</button></p>

, text3.

<p>

 <p id="div2">....</p> <-- Here, newline is 
                           another text node(the last one)

, .contents, .

, $.map,

var arr = $("#t2").contents().map(function(){
 if (this.nodeType == 3)
     return $.trim(this.nodeValue) || null; 
                                     // this null to omit last textnode
 else
     return $('<div />').append(this).html();

 });

var result = [];

$("#t2").contents().map(function(index, el) {
    console.log(el);
    if(el.nodeType == 3) {
        result.push($.trim( $(el).text() ));
    } else {
        if(el.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'b') {
          result.push('<b>' + el.innerHTML + '</b>');
        } else if(el.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'p') {
          result.push('<p>' + el.innerHTML + '</p>');            
        }
   }
});
