I have something like:
<div id="outer">
<span>the text</span>
<a href="javascript:void(0);">the link</a>
</div>
I then observe the link as...
$('outer').observe('click', doSomething);
and deal with it as...
function doSomething(e) {
e.stop();
elt = e.element();
if(elt.tagName == 'A') {
alert(elt.up().firstChild.innerHTML);
}
}
That brings me to my question. The user clicked on the 'A' link, so I
want to alert the text that's in the adjoining span. I walked up to
the div, then down to the first child node (I guess previous() would
have worked...). Anyhow, the only way I know to get the information
in the span is using innerHTML, but something tells me there is a
portability bug waiting to bite me.
Any help is appreciated.
Thx
