jquery closet method to not log for certain context it finds-CodePudding

I have a context menu where i want to use certain method it find p/div,so right now i'm just logging so that to see if i find proper element when i click.

html

<div>Hello I'm div</div>

<p>I'm para <span>I'm span inside para</span></p>

code

    var paraElm = $target.closest("p")
            if(paraElm && paraElm[0]){
                  console.log("i have selected the element is para",paraElm)
            }

it give me an array in output

log for para

i have selected the element is para,
n.fn.init [p.locked.sender, prevObject: n.fn.init(1),context: p.locked.sender]
0: p.locked.sender
context: p.locked.sender
length: 1
prevObject:n.fn.init [p.locked.sender, context: p.locked.sender]
[[Prototype]]: Object(0)

log for span inside para

i have selected the element is para,
n.fn.init [p.locked.sender, prevObject: n.fn.init(1), context: span.selected]
0: p.locked.sender
context: span.selected
length: 1
prevObject: n.fn.init [span.selected, context: span.selected]
[[Prototype]]: Object(0)

So when i click on span i don't want it log or get that element just on p tag only

// i hope this solve your issue
$(document).ready(function() {
  $("body").on('click', function(event) {
      editTask(event.target);
  });
});

function editTask(node) {
  var closest_element = $(node).text();


  console.log(closest_element);
}

UPDATE: So i made some changes with the help of condition i used worked for :D just in JSFiddle it isn't showing properly, it works fine for me.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $("body").on('click', function(event) {
    var $target = $(event.target);

    var getElm = $target.closest('p');

    if (getElm.context.nodeName.toLowerCase() != 'span') {
      console.log("I got the element", getElm);
    }
  });
});
