Manipulating dom, is this possible?

[Maurice Kroon]

I'm working on a thing here, and I'm not able to fix it, i'm not even
sure if it's possible, but i would like to know..

This is the code.
<li>some text <a href="someurl">someurl</a> some text</li>

...

<div id="sometextholder"></div>

Now, the challenge.
In normal situation, the sometext is display:none, and only the <a>
remain. Is this possible? Because to my knowledge I would have to use
classes, but i hope it is..

On a mouseover, i would like to see the whole contents of the li, in a
different div (sometextholder).

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Maurice Kroon

It can be done:

<ul>
<li>some text <a href="someurl"
onmouseover="
document.getElementById('sometextholder').innerHTML =
this.parentNode.firstChild.data;
" onmouseout="
document.getElementById('sometextholder').innerHTML = '';
">someurl</a> some text
</ul>

<div id="sometextholder"></div>


That is but a proof of concept, nothing more.
