read contents from $(this) selector and its children separately?
<p>how to read contents from $(this) selector and its children separately?</p>

<pre><code>    &lt;div class="para"&gt;
      &lt;h1 class="hd"&gt;heading 1&lt;/h1&gt;
      Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc tincidunt pharetra         est, quis facilisis purus elementum ut. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos.
    &lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>I can read the contents of the <code>&lt;h1&gt;</code>separately using $(this).children("h1").text() but how do you read the content from the  excluding <code>&lt;h1&gt;</code>?</p>

<p>thanks</p>
