<div id="mydiv">
    <div>
        <span>Text inside span</span>
        Text next to span
    </div>
    <div>
        Contents inside the 2nd div element...
    </div>
</div>

I wanted to get the "Text next to span". 




var a = $('#mydiv div').first().contents().filter(function() {
    return this.nodeType == 3;
}).text();
