I want to extract the Text inside a Element with JQuery
<div id="bla">
<span><strong>bla bla bla</strong>I want this text</span>
</div>
I want only the text "I want this text" without the strong-tag. How can I do that?

Try this...
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#bla span").contents().each(function(i) {
if(this.nodeName == "#text") alert(this.textContent);
});
});
//]]>
</script>
This doesn't need to remove any other nodes from context, and will just give you the text node(s) on each iteration.
This does it (tested):
var clone = $("#bla > span").clone();
clone.find('strong').remove();
alert(clone.text());
Variation on karim79's method:
$("span").clone().find("strong").remove().end().text();
or if you just want the root text without knowing what other tags are in it:
$("span").clone().children().remove().end().text();
still a little long, but I think this about as short as you can hope for.
var textFromSpanWithoutStrongTag = $('div#bla > span').text();
UPDATED:
var textFromSpanWithoutTextFromStrongTag =
$('div#bla > span').text().replace($('div#bla > span > strong').text(), '');
UPDATED:
var text = '';
$("div#bla > span").contents().each(function () {
if(this.nodeType == 3) text = text + this.nodeValue; });
Tested in FF3, IE8, O10b on:
<div id="bla">
<span>
<strong>bla bla bla</strong>
I want this
<strong>bla bla</strong>
text
<span>bla bla bla</span>
</span>
</div>
