Selecting part of a li item to get text

I have an li element which looks like this:

<li><input type="radio" name="test" value="2" />Some text here</li>

How would I retrieve the text "Some text here" using JQuery? I was trying to use the children methods but I'm assuming that li element only has one child as the whole thing is contained within the same li.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

You assign an id for li and you access via jQuery by id.

HTML:

<li id="list"><input type="radio" name="test" value="2" />Some text here</li>

jQuery:

$('# list').Html()

Simply use just text() method like following.

var text = $('li').text();

console.log(text);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<li><input type="radio" name="test" value="2" />Some text here</li>
