title: ParseInt/text/value from <strong> element
body: <p>I've having trouble parsing integers or even text from <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code> elements on a page. What I want to do is parse the number of followers from a Twitter profile, like <a href="https://twitter.com/twitterapi" rel="nofollow">this one</a>. Using Google dev tools, I'm calling: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var value = ($('.js-mini-profile-stats strong')[2])
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Than I'm trying to call  <code>value.text()</code> but... oops!</p>
  
  <pre><code>TypeError: Object #&lt;HTMLElement&gt; has no method 'text'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I get text from this element and then parse the integer from it? Unfortunately, the text inside the <code>&lt;strong&gt;</code> element has the format <code>1,353,441</code>, so calling <code>parseInt</code> directly will only get value <code>1</code> from it.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: 
  Thanks for answers. But stilL I can't parse int from it</p>
  
  <pre><code>`value.text();
  "=&gt; 1,992,740"
  parseInt(value.text());
   =&gt; 1`
  </code></pre>
