    Event handler problem in FF

    I'm just getting back in to Javascript, and find the following code works fine in IE, but not in FF. For my edification, could someone please explain why?

    Code:
    <html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Column Content</title>
<script language="javascript">
function meClick(id){
alert(document.getElementById(id).innerText);

}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<table width="37%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="30%" id = "c1" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C1</div></td>
<td width="22%" id = "c2" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C2</div></td>
<td width="48%" id = "c3" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C3</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
    Thanks!

      Try textContent in Firefox.

          "TD" would have "innerText" ? I think this is not a Text Node then how it works in IE? Please explain!

              slightly off-topic, but you can improve your function by
              Code:
              function meClick()
{
    alert(this.innerHTML); // this.innerText / this.textContent
}

                  See an explanation of innerText.

                      Thanks for all the replies... I'm actually doing things in a slightly different way now. Please see my more recent posts if you are interested.

                      Thanks again!
