    <p>How do I get the text of an element without the children? Neither <code>element.textContent</code> nor <code>element.innerText</code> seem to be working.</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;body&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Test Heading&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;div&gt; Awesome video and music. Thumbs way up. Love it. Happy weekend to you and your family. Love, Sasha &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.4/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; fool("body"); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>and here's the <code>fool</code> function:</p> <pre><code>jQuery.fn.justtext = function(text) { return $(this).clone() .children() .remove() .end() .text(); }; function fool(el) { reverse(el); function reverse(el) { $(el).children().each(function() { if($(this).children().length &gt; 0) { reverse(this); if($(this).justtext() != "") reverseText(this); } else { reverseText(this) } }); } function reverseText(el){ var text = el.textContent; var frag = text.toString().split(/ /); var foo = ""; var punctation_marks = [".",",","?","!"," ",":",";"]; for(i in frag){ if(punctation_marks.indexOf(frag[i]) == -1) foo += actualReverse(frag[i],punctation_marks) + " "; } el.textContent = foo; } function actualReverse(text,punctation_marks) { return (punctation_marks.indexOf(text.split("")[text.split("").length-1]) != -1)?text.split("").slice(0,text.split("").length-1).reverse().join("") + text.split("")[text.split("").length-1] : text.split("").reverse().join(""); } } </code></pre> <p><strong>edit</strong>: using <code>node.nodeType</code> doesn't really help and here's why: Imaginge the following HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;td class="gensmall"&gt; Last visit was: Sat Mar 31, 2012 10:50 am &lt;br&gt; &lt;a href="./search.php?search_id=unanswered"&gt;View unanswered posts&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="./search.php?search_id=active_topics"&gt;View active topics&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p>if I'd use <code>nodeType</code>, only the text of the <code>a</code> element would change , but not the <code>td</code> itself ("last visit....")</p>

    2. COAny code? Your selector is probably wrong, `element` does not conain any content when `.textContent` and `innerText` are empty.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
