Firefox version 3.5.3 Firebug version 1.4.3

As for an example, I cannot get it to work on any page.

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        function testDivContents(divToTest) {
            alert(divToTest.innerText);
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="nameOfMyElementId" onclick="testDivContents(this);"></
div>
</body>
</html>

What I am trying to determine is if the div is empty.  In IE (I know
that is the worst browser ever), I am able to use a conditional
statement against the innerText property.  In Firefox, the alert
states that innerText is undefined.  I haven't been developing against
standards long enough to know which property I should be using so I
thought I could use Firebug to list the valid properties with the dir
command.

The root of the problem however is not solving the test for an empty
div (though I will take advice).  The real issue is why can't I get
the dir command to work in Firebug javascript debugging?
