Get the text of an li element
html, javascript
Solution
In your case:
document.getElementById('menu_selected').innerHTML
Problem
``` <ul class="leftbutton" > <li id="menu-selected">Sample 1</li> <li>Sample 2</li> <li>Sample 3</li> <li>Sample 4</li> <li>Sample 5</li> </ul> ``` I want to get the text of the li item which the id="menu-selected". Right now I am doing something like ``` document.getElementById('menu_selected').childNodes.item(0).nodeValue ``` Is there any simpler way of doing the same?
