get value of text between br using jquery text()

Question

It's hard to work on terrible markup, it just not don't have class it look something like this:

<p>p</p>
<br>br1
<br>br2
<br>br3

to get the p is easy

console.log($('p').text());

but how to get the br1, br2 that located between br tag? if possible I want to check after br is there any value equal to br1, if yes then remove that line. Thought of use attr() still don't have idea how to do it.

You can try to use nextSibling DOM property:

$( 'br' ).each( function() {
    console.log( $( this ).get( 0 ).nextSibling.nodeValue );
});

you can just do `this.nextSibling` instead of `$( this ).get( 0 ).nextSibling` – wirey00 Aug 13 '14 at 14:55

@ᾠῗᵲᄐᶌ like this console.log( $( this) .nextSibling() ); ? error. – user3836151 Aug 13 '14 at 14:57
@user3836151 like this `console.log(this.nextSibling.nodeValue );` – wirey00 Aug 13 '14 at 14:58
why I got three time alert in this case? http://jsfiddle.net/p0rcv62u/1/ I want to remove
br1 if br1 found. – user3836151 Aug 13 '14 at 15:04
@user3836151 because of typo. You used `=` instead of `==` na dalso note that this also adds `\n` to end of string as it in HTML layout. http://jsfiddle.net/p0rcv62u/2/ – antyrat Aug 13 '14 at 15:08
