Problem

I would like to know if it is possible to capture a commented remark using JavaScript. The remark will look like this on the soruce code: ``` <div id='ContainerId'> <!-- NON IDEAL REASON: 90 min time window depart arrive --> <b>1,107.45 GBP</b><br /> <!--LLF: 1107.45 --> </div> ``` I need to save that value (in this case 1107.45) inside a variable. This doesn't seem to work: ``` var LLF = jQuery("contains('LLF')"); ``` Any ideas? Thanks!
