javascript get only div parent node value(without child nodes)

Question

Here is my problem:

<html>
    <div id="parentdiv">
        some parent value
        <div id="childdiv">some child value</div>
    </div>
</html>

parent div --> parent div content --> child div --> child div content --> end child div --> end parent div

I need to acquire only parent div value, without child div value. How can I do that in Javascript?
