[Javascript] Walking the DOM

[Peter Brunone]

		   Google for "HTML strip function" and you should get a few good ones.

   Then again, I'm confused as to why you'd need innerText if all you have is text in the link.  The innerHTML property does not return the tag of the element itself; that's outerHTML, which is a whole different issue.

Cheers,

Peter

		If o.innerText is IE only, and still possible with lots of work in other browsers could a general function be created to work in all browsers and then added to a library, such as prototype to make life easier for future use?

(an IE extension introduced ten years ago
having in mind exactly the type of applications
you are building right now),

but since other browsers don't support it
you are left with W3C conditionals and a long
walk...
(meaning count children check for node type identify the correct textnode)

Is that correct?
