I have some code below and I want to get the current text of <p> tag using Jquery.

<div class="col-md-2 content-article-detail">
    <h1>Title of news</h1>
    <div class="sapo">
      some short content of article
    </div>
    <div class="detail">
      <p> this is description detail of article </p>
    </div>
</div> 

How to achieve it? Thanks in advance.

    With Jquery you can use to Text() or Html() functions to get text or content of <P> tag. In your case you can get as below: 

    var textNews = $(".content-article-detail .detail > p").text() 

    OR write shorter

    var textNews = $(".detail p").text() 

    Or more shorter

    var textNews = $("p").text() 

    I recommend you use it in the first way when you have more HTML in the page.
