Is there a way to get innerText of only the top element (and ignore the child element’s innerText)?

by

Just iterate over the child nodes and concatenate text nodes:

var el = document.getElementById("your_element_id"),
    child = el.firstChild,
    texts = [];

while (child) {
    if (child.nodeType == 3) {
        texts.push(child.data);
    }
    child = child.nextSibling;
}

var text = texts.join("");
