title: How to get nearest text inside an element?
body: <p>$("#item_1").text() will return all the text under #item_1, but I need just "The First Item".</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to get text "The First Item" by using jquery?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt;    
      &lt;li id="item_1"&gt;
          The First Item
          &lt;ul class="ltUndertema _khKonteringUndertemaer mt2"&gt;
              &lt;li&gt;Item 1.1&lt;/li&gt;
              &lt;li&gt;Item 1.2&lt;/li&gt;
          &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;...&lt;/li&gt;
  &lt;/ul&gt;
  </code></pre>
