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 - {span}.firstChild.nodeValue
-
{span}.value
-
{span}.innerHTML
there are several ways to get the desired span object...

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)

nasty bit of tree walking there....
ok, first you need the right table - var tbl = document.getElementsByTagName("table")[2]; // 3rd table
then select the table rows - var rows = tbl.childNodes; // tbl.firstChild.childNodes for IE
now get the font tags (loop through the rows) and the text - var text = rows[i].firstChild.getElementsByTagName("font")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
I didn't test it, but I think it should work this way.
