To get the Hyperlink Control text in Javascript?

Hi,
Two very related questions.

a) On clicking a hyperlink control I need to be able to GET the text of the
control. How can I do this?
b) How can I then SET the text of the hyperlink control to something else?

This can;t be hard but is so far eluding me (new to JS - managed to get by
without it for years!)

Many thanks!

While dynamically creating the table; I am adding a hyperlink as a TableCell where text is "Delete". Initially it is disabled and if a checkbox is selected from a table then it gets enabled.

I have an aspx page (referred to here as page_1) with a datagrid whose first column contains hyperlinks. When a user clicks one of these hyperlinks, he will navigate to another aspx page (referred to here as page_2). I need to cache the value of the link's text (hyperlink.text property) so that I can use it in the page_load event of page_2. I've thought of using a hidden field and then calling Request.Form("hdnClickedLinkText") in the...

This line of code works in IE but not in Firefox or Netscape for some reason. Any ideas as to why would be appreciated, It is the NavigateURL part. IE brings up the page, the other two browsers it just does nothing. Tom Olthoff

I am using asp .net 2.0. I have a hyperlink asp control on my web page page1.aspx. On clicking this hyper;link, I would like to open page2.aspx (which is in the same web application) in a new IE window without scrollbars, status bar, tool bar and with specified height and width.

I had posted this problem earlier and just noticed that the Hyperlink is the problem. Apparently, it doesn't figure out the path correctly. It uses the path of the file it is in, even if it is a control. I have 2 files "displayCompanyJobs.aspx" and "displayCompanyOverview.aspx" which are in both the folder "/jobseeker/" and "/employer/". I have a user control "displayCompanyJobs.ascx" that is in my /applicant/
