how can i get the Value / Text of a <li> item ?
I found on the internet much ways to get the value for a dropdown list.
But not for a <li> item.
This is what I have tried so far:
var listt = document.getElementById('content1');
var selectedvalue = [listt.selectedIndex].text;
You can use the innerText property for most browsers, but the textContent property for Firefox:
<ul>
<li id=myLi>Hello, world</li>
</ul>
var li = document.getElementById(myLi)
console.log(li.textContent || li.innerText);
Here is a fiddle to demonstrate.
If you are using jQuery (you say you are, but I see no evidence) it would be as simple as using the .text() function:
$(#myLi).text();
If your <li> contains HTML markup too, you may want that. In this case you need to use the innerHTML property:
document.getElementById(myLi).innerHTML;
Again, jQuery has it's own equivalent .html() which caters for all sorts of different browsers:
$(#myLi).html();
