never mind. I just ran a validate on that snippet of code and yours is the valid markup.

I'm using jQuery's .text( ) method. Unfortunately, that returns the text of all children as well. That means for a nested list like this <ul> <li>index.html</li> <li>about <ul> <li>index.html</li> <li>more.html</li> </ul> </li> </ul> $('li').eq(1).text() returns 'about index.html more.html' I just want to retrieve "about" not the text from the child list items. Any ideas on how to do that? thanks
