Get specific text from html tag jquery : <p>How would I go about retrieving specific text from the HTML code? for example:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;a class="shopitem" data-minitooltip="item_123"&gt;&lt;img src="#" alt=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>How would I get <em>item_123</em> as text from that line using jquery?</p>
