How to get the previous text value of a div by clicking a html item?

In the image below is the HTML code: enter image description here

and this is my js code: 

$(".salveazaTransaSuma").click(function(){
   var payment_name = $(this).siblings().previous(".transaContentEdit").text();
   alert(payment_name);
});

So I want to get the text value from the transaContentEdit class, when i click on the salveazaTransa class. Don't Worry about the white spaces before and after the text value ("Servicii programare Transa 1"). Appearantly my code doesn't work. It gives me an error in firebug "TypeError: $(...).siblings(...).previous is not a function". Any idea how to hande this ?

You need prev not previous

$(".salveazaTransaSuma").click(function(){
   var payment_name = $(this).closest('div.litrans.suma').prev().find(".transaContentEdit").text();
   alert(payment_name);
});

previous is not a function use prev. 

var payment_name = $(this).closest('.litransa').prev(".transaContentEdit").text();

Based on your image, you can use:

$(".salveazaTransaSuma").click(function(){
   var payment_name = $(this).closest('.litransa').prev().find(".transaContentEdit").text();
   alert(payment_name);
});
