You can use this method to get the text part of an element (without any HTML tags). You pass this method a position argument that indicates where you want to get the text from in relation to the current object; this argument may be set to one of these values:

  • "beforeBegin" . Text is returned from immediately before the element.

  • "afterBegin" . Text is returned from after the start of the element (but before all other content in the element).

  • "beforeEnd" . Text is returned from immediately before the end of the element (but after all other content in the element).

  • "afterEnd" . Text is returned from immediately after the end of the element.
