Retrieve label content in Jquery
<p>I am using JQuery for my application.
In my code, I want to get only the text 'Firstname' in the label.</p>

<p>I tried it with </p>

<pre><code>     $("#label"+div_id+"").html(); //but displays Firstname along with the span tag..
</code></pre>

<p>But I only need Firstname. How can i do so?</p>

<p>The following is my Html code</p>

<pre><code> &lt;label id="label1"&gt;Firstname&lt;span class="req"&gt;&lt;em&gt; * &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/label&gt;
</code></pre>
