gives me the 'id'. From there I can create the 'id' of the desired tag,
which solves my immediate problem.
I'm still curious as to why the <a> behaves differently???
m.innerHTML = a; //--></script> </body> </html>var a = d.getElementById('a').innerText; by the way adding href="" to the anchor tag will let var a =d.getElementById('a'); return the href it self, if you still need an outputthat looks like: [object HTMLanchorElement] tell me and will find a work around for you...Thanks for your generous offer, Bassel. I need the node so I can use "nextSibling".As you pointed out "document.getElementById()" returns not the id, but the href. (That really puzzles me and differs from the O'Reilly books on Javascript and Dynamic HTML).
