Answer 1

You can use the :first selector:

$('p:first');

Answer 2

Since CKeditor is in an iframe, you might need something along the lines of:

$("#cke_contents_editor1 iframe").contents().find('p:first').text()

to extract the text.

Answer 4

I don't know if CKEditor would affect this in any way, but with jQuery you should be able to use:

$("p:first").text();

To get the text in the first <p> element. If the paragraphs are wrapped by a <div> or another element with a specific ID, you can do:

$("#id-of-div p:first").text();
