[polilop]

How can i get value of a td in a table?
I tried
tabl=document.getElementById("table").rows[0].innerText;

but this is only supported by iexplorer.

.node Value not Supported by Mozilla

Randy said nodeValue not node Value. nodeValue is supported by Mozilla
as it is specified in the W3C DOM Core for any node. However for element
nodes nodeValue is by definition null which is not what you are looking
for if you use innerText in the IE DOM.

I guess you are after the text in the node with any HTML tags stripped
out. The following function uses W3C DOM 3 textContent or innerText or
recurses through the child nodes grabbing the text.

You may want to modify it to deal with other node types.


function getElText(el)
{
if (el.textContent) return el.textContent;
if (el.innerText) return el.innerText;
var x = el.childNodes;
var txt = '';
for (var i=0, len=x.length; i<len; ++i){
if (3 == x.nodeType) {
txt += x.data;
} else if (1 == x.nodeType){
txt += getElText(x);
}
}
return txt.replace(/\s+/g,' ');
}
