Jquery: Get Text Between Two Elements

i've got a HTML tree like this:

     This is line 1
     This is line 2
     This is line 3
     This is line 4).map(function(){
    return this.previousSibling.nodeValue;
});

alert(text[0]);

Solution 2:

You can use previousSibling property:

document.getElementById('marker').previousSibling;

previousSibling returns an object, if you want to get the text content of it, you can use textContent, nodeValue or wholeText property.
