var test   document getElementById   test         To get the text only  you can use  textContent  console log  test textContent        1 2 3 4    textContent is the standard way  innerText is the property to use for legacy IE  If you want something as cross browser as possible  recursively use nodeValue

No jQuery tag  so I m assuming pure JavaScript  var spanText   document getElementById  targetSpanId   innerText    Is what you need  But in your case   var spans   document getElementById  test   getElementsByTagName  span     returns node-list of spans for  var i 0 i lt spans length i          console log spans i  innerText    logs 1 for i     0  2 for i     1 etc     Here s a fiddle

You can use querySelectorAll to get all span elements and then use new ES2015  ES6  spread operator convert StaticNodeList that querySelectorAll returns to array of spans  and then use map operator to get list of items   See example bellow   x000D   x000D       document querySelectorAll   test span     map x   gt  console log x innerHTML   x000D   lt div id  test  gt  x000D       lt span gt 1 lt  span gt  x000D       lt span gt 2 lt  span gt  x000D       lt span gt 3 lt  span gt  x000D       lt span gt 4 lt  span gt  x000D   lt div gt  x000D   x000D   x000D

Pure javascript would be like this  var children   document getElementById  test   children    If you are using jQuery it would be like this      test   children
