How to pass a links text to a javascript function?

[chobo]

Hi, I would like to pass a links text value to a javascript function, but the catch is I don't want to use the "getElementByID" function because I have a lot of links, and I really don't want the all to have id's

I was thinking something along the lines of this:

<a href="#" onclick="addToList(this.innerHTML); return false;">Some value</a>
 

I just want an easy way to access the <a> anchors text value (without using getElementByID) and passing that value to a javascript function. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I got it to work :) In my javascript code I put single quotes around 'this' and it doesn't need any.

(The code in my first post should work as well, I think I didn't clear my cache when I tested the file, or something)

The following code works:

<a href="#" onclick="addToList(this); return false;">Some Value</a>
 

test.js file

function addToList(value) {
    alert(value.innerHTML);
}
