How Do I Retrieve Text From A Span Tag Inside A Selected Href Tag?

I'm trying to retrieve the text from a span elementinside a selected href tag. Here is my HTML from a previous example:

• Solution 1:

  You just a need a simple class selector:

  var test = $(".gifttitle.highlight").text();      
  

  Solution 2:

  var test = $('.highlight > .gifttitle').text();

  Solution 3:

  You shold change your code to:

  $('#capture').click(function(e) {
      e.preventDefault();
  
      // var test = $(".gifttitle", this).text();      
      alert("TEXT " + test);
  });
  

  The :selected pseudoclass is not applied to span elements.

  The $(". gifttitle ", this) means select the element with class gifttitle in current element.
