Jquery, Extract child text
<p>Here is html code, </p>

<pre><code>&lt;li class="comment-content"&gt;
    Target String!!!
    &lt;span class="comment-time"&gt;2011-07-13 17:08:39&lt;/span&gt;
    &lt;a title="comment" class="bottoml cof-comment" href="#"&gt;comment&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;a title="modify" class="bottoml cof-comment" href="#"&gt;modify&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
    &lt;a title="delete" class="bottoml cof-comment" href="#"&gt;delete&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/li&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I can get comment-content's text using jquery like this,</p>

<pre><code>$(".comment-content").text();
</code></pre>

<p>the result is : </p>

<pre><code>Target String!!! 2011-07-13 17:08:39 comment modify delete
</code></pre>

<p>my question, can I get the string "Target String!!!" only using jquery?
without sub tag's text, direct child text only I mean.</p>
