What I got:
[HTML]<font color="#ffffcc" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" size="+1">testA</font>
<font color="#ffffcc" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" size="+1">test1</font>
[/HTML]

What I want:
[HTML]<font color="#ffffcc" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" size="+1">testA <a href="http://loginpage.php?login=testA">login</a></font>
<font color="#ffffcc" face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica" size="+1">test1<a href="http://loginpage.php?login=test1">login</a></font>
[/HTML]
Now I know how to insert the <a> tag but I can't get the "testA", "test1" values. Any help would be greatly appreciated .

first, drop the <font> tags, they're deprecated since you can do styling with css.

if you have say
[HTML]<span>test1</span>[/HTML]
you can use

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. {span}.firstChild.nodeValue
2. {span}.value
3. {span}.innerHTML

there are several ways to get the desired span object...

this will result in quite a bit of work. the main problem you have (without access to the page) is to address the right font tags. you probably have to get all font tags, check if they contain a link and then you can read the text.

maybe you can provide a link, so I can have a look at the html (this could make things easier).

What I am trying to accomplish is to have an icon next to the server names that connects to a login page and gives the server name as get variable.

ps: the span element is not in my version (runs on secure local network)

ok, first you need the right table

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. var tbl = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[2]; // 3rd table

then select the table rows

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. var rows = tbl.childNodes; // tbl.firstChild.childNodes for IE

now get the font tags (loop through the rows) and the text

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. var text = rows[i].firstChild.getElementsByTagName("font")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;

I didn't test it, but I think it should work this way.
