I'm racking my brains on this because I've forgotten everything I knew it seems. Anyway, I have a
particular A object reference from a link being clicked. I want to get the *actual link text* of
the anchor (not the href).
So if this is my example:
<li><a href="#" onclick="return ChooseItem(this);">Item one</a></li>
Forget about the implementation right now, this is test code. I need to get the text "Item one" in
my ChooseItem() function.
I figure I need to crawl down the childNodes, but I can't seem to get it.
function ChooseItem(choice) {
var myLinkText = choice.(some DOM call here)
}
Since i already have the object, seems like it should be easy but can't quite get it.
