Answer 1

Look at this :

HTML :

<li><a><span><b>News</b></span></a></li>

jQuery :

var pureText = $("li").text();
var val = $("li").val();
var html = $("li").html();

Answer 2

if you mean the text without the HTML tags, you may use

$('tag').text()

Reference

Answer 3

你应该使用text()代替，这将只返回文本

Answer 4

在纯JavaScript您可以使用innerText

'tag'.innerText
