I usually add a method to the Element to do this:-
Element.addMethods({ getText: function(element){
element = $(element);
return element.textContent || element.innerText ||
_readTextNodes(element);
function _readTextNodes(e){
if(e.nodeType == 3 || e.nodeType == 4){
return e.nodeValue;
}
var text = '', child = e.firstChild;
while(child){
text += _readTextNodes(child);
child = child.nextSibling;
}
return text;
}
}
});
$('foo').getText()
