$F is only for form elements. You can't use it on an A or another non- form text container, as the OP would like. You could try maybe tag.toString().stripTags() to get the inner text in a cross-browser manner.

You are trying to get the value of that tag, not an attribute.

To do that, use these:

$('tag'),getValue();

Or its shortcut:

$F('tag');

Dear sir,

the following is the offical example of read attribute. But would you
tell me how to make it return the text 'Prototype'?

<a id="tag" href="/tags/prototype" rel="tag" title="view related
bookmarks." my_widget="some info.">Prototype</a>

$('tag').readAttribute('href');
// -> '/tags/prototype'
$('tag').readAttribute('title');
// -> 'view related bookmarks.'
$('tag').readAttribute('my_widget');
// -> 'some info.'

I have try

$('tag').readAttribute('text');
// -> 'null'
$('tag').readAttribute(innerHTML);
// -> 'null'

but both of them not work.
