<div class="menu-content"> <h3>Lorem Ipsum</h3> TEXT THAT NEEDS TO BE WRAPPED <ul> <li>List Item 1</li> </ul> </div> I got the code above (it gets generated automatically so I can't manually wrap the text), I need to filter through the content of ".menu-content" and find the text that is not wrapped in a html tags and then wrap that text in a p tag.
I tried the following jQuery code:
$('.menu-content').find(':not(h3, ul)').wrap('<p></p>'); Use contents() and filter() to get text node
$('.menu-content') .contents() // get all child node including text and comment .filter(function() { // filter the text node which is not empty return this.nodeType === 3 && $.trim(this.textContent).length }).wrap('</p>'); // wrap filtered element with p<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <div class="menu-content"> <h3>Lorem Ipsum</h3> TEXT THAT NEEDS TO BE WRAPPED <ul> <li>List Item 1</li> </ul> </div>
