Finding text node

Question

Is there a clever jQuery selector for selecting a text node like this:

one two three         


        
      

Answer 1

Is there a reason why you can't wrap three in some html element when you are generating the markup? It isn't really possible to grab some random word from the text and wrap it - unless you know it will always be the absolute last word in the div. If so you could do this to get the word:

var txt = $(div).text();
var txtArr = txt.split();
var wordToWrap = txtArr[txtArr.length - 1];
