jQuery get html in div without any markup
<p>I have some script written using the <strong>jQuery</strong> framework. </p>

<pre><code>var site = {
link: $('#site-link').html()

}
</code></pre>

<p>This gets the html in the div <code>site-link</code> and assigns it to <code>link</code>. I later save <code>link</code> to the DB. </p>

<p>My issue is I don't want the html as I see this as being to dangerous, maybe? </p>

<p>I have tried:</p>

<pre><code> link: $('#site-link').val()
</code></pre>

<p>... but this just gives me a blank value. </p>

<p><strong>How can I get the value inside the div without any markup?</strong></p>
