How do I get the string of an element, not including the string's sibling element?
<p>So I have this:</p>

<p><code>&lt;span class="a"&gt; String &lt;span class="b"&gt;Herp&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;</code></p>

<p>and I need to define span.a's string as a variable without getting span.b's string like:</p>

<p><code>var a = $(".a").text();</code></p>

<p>How should I do it?</p>
