html – How to get text from an element with other children using jQuery

I have something similar to the following:

<div>
     Hello World
     <div>Something Else</div>
</div>

I want to use javascript/jQuery to get just the \’Hello World\’ text.

I could just wrap it in a span and select that, but I now want to know how to do this.

I thought simply using $(\’div\’).text() would work, but it gives me \”Hello WorldSomething Else\”.

Thanks,

Matt
