In jquery do $("#idOfElement).val(). I believe that will work on a p as well.

val() should work for input object and textarea

Try $("#AvailableSize").html()

As per your design try with below code:

HTML

<p id="AvailableSize">Select Size @item</p>

JavaScript

alert($("#AvailableSize").text().split(' ')[2]);

Although you will get @item value in above code, but it would be better if you use span inside p tag like:

HTML

<p id="AvailableSize">Select Size <span id="SizeCount">@item</span></p>

JavaScript

alert($("#SizeCount").text());

How do i get the string or int value which is placed inside a <p> element using jquery?
