If you're not using jQuery (or even if you are), this link explores some of the different options (eg innerText vs textContent), along with how they differ between browsers:

Basically, not all approaches work in all browsers, and some strip line breaks while others don't.

You could use the text() function instead:

Use $("your_element").text()

You can use also:

document.getElementById("your_element").textContent;
