retrieve clean text between <td></td>

[js]

I have a table rendered with XSLT. The first column has a radio
button controls for user to make a selection for a particular row.
All the values in the remaining columns are all concated with a &#xA0;
(blank). I need to retieve the text in each cell of that row if the
radio button on that row is clicked. Each <TD> has a numeric ID so
that I can use it with document.getEle mentById().inne rText method. I
use Javascript to assign some hidden fields with these innerText
before the form is submitted. Upon submission, the form would contain
those values along with %90?. How can I get rid of those HTML encoded
string and get only the text that appear in the browser using
javascript? I am using IE6. I also need to have it working in Opera
and Netscape. Thanks.

Can you post examples of the string you have and how
you'd like it to look afterwards? You can probably
do this pretty simply with a regular expression.

Thanks for the reply. The following is the XSLT template that render the
table content, and Javascript that manipulate the values of the hidden
fields before submit. Thank you.

function fillTechRefresh Form()
{
var taskid = document.getEle mentById('txtTa skId').value;
if (taskid == "")
{
alert("Please select task id by clicking the radio button")
return false;
}
else
{
with (document.forms[0])
{
txtTaskId.value = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString () +
'1').innerText;
txtLastName.val ue = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString ()
+ '9').innerText;
txtFirstName.va lue = document.getEle mentById('td' +
taskid.toString () + '10').innerText ;
//cboUserName.val ue = document.getEle mentById('td' +
taskid.toString () + '2').innerText;
cboUserName.val ue = txtLastName.val ue + ", " + txtFirstName.va lue;
cboSerial.value = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString () +
'3').innerText;
txtScheduled.va lue = document.getEle mentById('td' +
taskid.toString () + '4').innerText;
txtReady.value = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString () +
'5').innerText;
txtDeployed.val ue = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString ()
+ '6').innerText;
txtNewSystem.va lue = document.getEle mentById('td' +
taskid.toString () + '7').innerText;
txtComments.val ue = document.getEle mentById('td' + taskid.toString ()
+ '8').innerText;
submit();
}
}
}
