Javascript - get text between < li> by ID

rated 0 times [ 94] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 17652 / 13 Years ago, tue, october 11, 2011, 12:00:00

I'm trying to write some javascript that will grab the inner text of li elements (1-16) and put them into hidden fields.

   var myValue9 = document.getElementById(fileName9).value;

   oForm.elements[fileName9].value = myValue9;





 <input name=fileName9 type=hidden id=fileName9 />



<li id=wavName9> Some Text </li>

How do I return the text in between the <li> and put into the hidden field?

Simple JavaScript:

document.getElementById(fileName9).value = document.getElementById(wavName9).innerText;

You could, in this case, also use innerHTML but that would also give you the HTML the element contains.
