You are trying to get the value of that tag, not an attribute.
To do that, use these:

Or its shortcut:

$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.

Okay. $('tag').innerHTML.stripTags() will get you the inner text of
