<font face="arial" size="2"> Google for "HTML strip function" and you should get a few good ones.<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Peter<br /><br /></font>

<div>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?</div>
