according to http://www.w3schools.com/dom/dom_node.asp, to get the text content of a node,
textContent for FF and text for IE, but leaves opera out, is there a cross platform way of getting the inner text content of a node?
The property that’s most generic is the
nodeValueproperty defined here:http://www.w3schools.com/DOM/prop_document_nodevalue.asp
There is also a property called
innerTextthat I beleive works in IE6.The best option is to do some kind of object detection to ensure that the property you want to use, is available in the browser you’re currently using.
Alternatively, a Javascript framework such as jQuery, YUI, ExtJS will provide you with methods that are already setup to be cross browser compatable.
