What is "the text of the <href>" ?
The visible text of the link, or the href attribute value?

<a id="Link1" href="xxx">ABCD</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.getElementById("Link1").innerHTML="WXYZ";
</script>

A couple of other alternatives:

Really simple:

<a id="Link1" href="#" onclick="
this.innerHTML = 'WXYZ';">ABCD</a>

With a function, passing a reference:

<a id="Link1" href="#" onclick="modText(this);">ABCD</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
function modText(ele){
ele.innerHTML="WXYZ";
}
</script>

As above, but using DOM rather than the non-standard innerHTML:

<a id="Link1" href="#" onclick="modText(this);">ABCD</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
function modText(ele){
ele.childNodes[0].nodeValue = "WXYZ";
}
</script>
