What is the best method to retrieve the value of "Sum = ####" from List View using jQuery?
<p>Here's a little challenge for you SharePoint and jQuery experts. I have an out of the box list view in MOSS where I total one of the columns as a "Sum" so that at the very top of my list I have "Sum = #####".  </p>

<p>What I want to know is the most efficient script that would be to pull the text "Sum = ###,###" out of this list view so I can do something else with the value. </p>

<p>I wrote a script that works, and works well, but I have a feeling there is a cleaner approach.  What I do is:</p>

<p>1) use the web part ID to get the HTML of the web part containing the sum
2) use JavaScript substring method to find and pull out "Sum = ###,###".  </p>

<p>Like I said, it works, but it's not elegant.  </p>

<p>Other ideas?</p>
