innerText Help

[TurboSRT4]

hello, i just did a ton of work using innerText to find out that firefox does not support it and returns undefined. Is there a way to detect browser type and if it is firefox then use innerHtml? I would appreciate help using innerHtml and simply removing all tags from the value. Thank you

A cross-browser replacement for ".innerText" is ".firstChild.nodeValue".

Your mileage may vary when it comes to whitespace nodes... but you could iterate through the childNodes collection until you find the appropriate node (or nodeType or whatever you find easiest to search on).

Hope this helps,

Hi

Actually, you should use [tt]textContent[/tt] because that is the standard way, and if it is undefined, use Explorer's own [tt]innerText[/tt].

We had a similar discussion in thread216-1580940, thread surprisingly also started by you.
