Introduction

Find all the text nodes inside a <div> element and wrap them with a <b> element:

View in separate window 

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
  $("button").click(function(){
    $("div").contents().filter("em").wrap("<b/>");
  });/*from  ww w.  j  a  va2s  . c o m*/
});
</script>
</head>
<body>

<div><em>Hello world!</em></div>

<button>test</button><br>

</body>
</html>

The contents() method returns all direct children, including text and comment nodes.

A text node is the actual text displayed by an element. 

$(selector).contents()
