--> Yes indeed, the html is bloated and invalid, but I cannot access it.

> p.firstChild.nodeValue = 'Email';
--> I will give this a shot and see how it goes.

There is one other phase to this task; the login form changes dynamically
to a registration form if the user clicks the "Register" link.  The
registration form uses some of the same classes.  I will need to also
target the "User ID" text on the registration form and change it to "Email
Address" as well.

I will need to change your suggestion into an "if" statement (guessing
here) b/c the page remains the same, the html on the table dynamically
updates.  If I can get your suggestion working, I think I might be able to
get the if statement working...we'll see.

Thanks for your help, suggestions, and links thus far!  I will try your
suggestion and update the text case link I provided.
