Finding the tag <strong> inside this div tag using jQuery

Question

My dom looks like:

<div class="blah">
  <a href=""><img .. ></a>
  <strong>blah blah</strong>
  <a href=""><img /></a>
</div>

How can I get the value of the strong when I know the class is "blah" ?

$(".blah").find("strong") doesn't work?

Answer 1

Try this:

$(".blah").find("strong").html();

$(".blah").find("strong") will only return the jQuery object, not it's contents.
