2. Static Methods

2.1. Uize.Dom.Text.getText

Returns a string, representing the text content of the specified node.

SYNTAX

nodeTextSTR = Uize.Dom.Text.getText (nodeSTRorOBJ);

In Internet Explorer, this method employs the innerText property, removing all linebreaks. In other browsers that support the textContent property, this is used. For browsers that support neither, this method iterates recursively through the child nodes and cumulatively harvests the text content using the data property of all the text nodes.

EXAMPLE

This is a test

of the
  • emergency
  • broadcasting

network

In the above example, the statement Uize.Dom.Text.getText ('testNode') would return roughly 'this is a test of the emergency broadcasting network' (between browsers there might be variability with the whitespace content).

NOTES

this method is not quaranteed to return exactly the same value for the exact same markup in all browsers
