how to get...attribute?

[Mygly]

I'm trying to get the text inside of a link element. So lets say i had

<a href="blah">Text</a>

and I want to get the Text in that. How would I do so. can I use getAttribute somehow? or is there a different way to do it? Thanks.

In <a href="blah">Text</a>, href is the attribute, so you can use getAttribute to get "blah". If you want to get "Text", try innerHTML or childNode/textNode

I just remembered about childnodes, so on

<a href="blah">Text</a>

I used childNodes[0].nodeValue and that gives me Text (of course I could also use firstChild.nodeValue). Hope someone else can benefit from this thread, sorry for the wasted thread. Thanks for the reply Mittineague.
