jQuery
This is part of some HTML from which I need to retrieve a piece of data. The HTML is assigned to a variable called fullDescription.
<p>testing</p>
<div class="field field-type-text field-field-video-short-desc">
    <div class="field-label">Short Description: </div>
    <div class="field-items">
        <div class="field-item odd">
                Demonstrates the basics of using the Content section of App Cloud Studio        
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
<div class="field field-type-text field-field-video-id">
    <div class="field-label">Video ID: </div>
    <div class="field-items">
            <div class="field-item odd">
                    1251462871001        
            </div>
    </div>
</div>
I wish to retrieve the video ID number (1251462871001). I was thinking something like this:
var videoID = $(fullDescription).find(".field.field-type-text.field-field-video-id").find(".field-item.odd").html();
Although it does not generate any syntax errors, it does not retrieve the number.
Thanks for helping out a jQuery noob!
