Extract part of html with jQuery -

on alerting of these

var htmldata = theparent.html(); 

i have getting result

<!--<div id="megamenu_part2">     <div class="first_rowtitle" id="megamenu_part2-in"><h6><a href="/news/159">one is</a></h6>     <div class="mochu_newstile">         <span><img src="images/megamenu-icon_01.png"></span><span class="viewnumber_countfirst2">250</span>         <span><img src="images/megamenu-icon_line.png"></span>         <span><img src="megamenu-icon_comment.png"></span><span>0</span>     </div>     </div>--> 

after use of jquery want html() of class = 'viewnumber_countfirst2' how can ?? var childht = $(htmldata).$('.viewnumber_count_sh').html() work????

try:

var result = [] var htmldata = theparent.contents(); // return every dom element inside theparent, including text , comment htmldata.each(function(){   // each node, text , comment inside theparent   current_content = $(this)   if (current_content.nodetype == 8)   {     // if current content html comment     current_content.find('.viewnumber_countfirst2').each(function(){       // event inner node of desired class: store html       result.append($(this).html());     });   } });
