HTML Parser for pulling Text Javascript

Question

Hi does anyone know of an HTML parser in Javascript? I need it to basically pull all the readable text out of the file for my tag cloud...not metatags only but everything within:

tags:

<meta><p><h1-3><textbox><textarea>

basically you get the idea.

I saw John Resig's but that changes everything to XML. Before I try and use that and then just parse the XML, which may be easier I don't know, I wanted to see if there was something out there already.

Any help would be appreciate, until then I'll just keep looking around or I might just make it myself .

Using jQuery, you could do something like this:

$(myfileContents).text();

Where myFileContents is a string containing the HTML in your file.

Well, jQuery isn't available in PHP (it is, after all, a Javascript library) so yeah, PHP would be a different beast. :)

@Verber: You're going to have to be more specific than that.
