How to find value's item in sortable with javascript

Question

I have a sortable where it was created with loaded from JSON files. Now I want to delete an item. I receive from a textarea the element name that I have to cancel. I save in a variable `namdel`. With a for loop I am going to compare this variable with the name of the sortable. The HTML code of the sortable: ```

Singular sensation
Beady little eyes
Little birds

``` The problem is how to read the items because if I read with: ``` var contapara=1; var l = document.getElementById(contapara).innerHTML; alert(l); ``` The program write in alert window: ```

Accepted Answer

```
var contapara=1;
var regex = /(<([^>]+)>)/ig;
var l = document.getElementById(contapara).innerHTML.replace(regex, "");
alert(l);
```

Regex is our friend :)
