Event handler problem in FF

127 100+

I'm just getting back in to Javascript, and find the following code works fine in IE, but not in FF. For my edification, could someone please explain why?

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<html>

<head>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>Column Content</title>

<script language="javascript">

function meClick(id){

alert(document.getElementById(id).innerText);
 
}

</script>

</head>
 
<body>

<table width="37%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<td width="30%" id = "c1" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C1</div></td>

<td width="22%" id = "c2" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C2</div></td>

<td width="48%" id = "c3" onClick="meClick(this.id)"><div align="center">C3</div></td>

</tr>

</table>

</body>

</html>

Thanks!

"TD" would have "innerText"? I think this is not a Text Node then how it works in IE? Please explain!

slightly off-topic, but you can improve your function by

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 function meClick()

{

    alert(this.innerHTML); // this.innerText / this.textContent

}
