Isn't the jQuery text() function cross browser?
<p>I want to get the text that contains the element inside a td. Even not knowing what's inside this td using the jQuery <code>mytd.text()</code> returns the text successfully in IE8.</p>

<p>However I noticed that this function <code>text()</code> <strong>may be not cross browser</strong> since it returns me diferent values in Chrome and FF than in IE8. In both Chrome and FF the string result is much longer than in IE8. It's preceded and appended with empty values <code>" "</code></p>

<p>As of I have a variable <code>mytd</code> that has the td object how could I retrieve the text that contains in a cross browser manner?</p>

<pre><code>   // Does not work
   var text = mytd.text()
</code></pre>

<p>thank you.</p>
