Hi,

I want to get text from the following HTML element:

<div class="yregertxt"><strong><strong>Invalid ID or password. </strong><br/>Please try again using your full Yahoo! ID, and type the text you see in the picture below.</strong></div>

I want to get the following text "Invalid ID or password. Please try again using your full Yahoo! ID."

After this I want to assign it to a variable.

Please help!

    Would that work for the following code? I would like to be able to select and store the value for "Version" (value below is 10.4.0.0) but I don't seem to be having any luck:

    <body id="about">
    <div class="header">
    <img src="/Company/images/login/logo.png" height="50">
    </div>
    <div class="wrapper" style="min-width:350px !important; max-width:350px !important">
    <h1>My Company</h1>
    <h2>
    <div>
    <span>Version:</span><strong>10.4.0.0</strong>
    </div>
    <div>
    <span>Timestamp:</span><strong>2/12/2013 10:45 AM</strong>
    </div>
    </h2>
    </div>
    </body>

    My code:
    _set($version,_getText(_byClassName("wrapper","strong")));

    Error:
    _sahi.setServerVar('\$version', _getText(_byClassName("wrapper","strong"))); Error: The parameter passed to _getText was not found on the browser

    I'm calling this from within a custom function, IE.

    Finally figured it out: _getText(_strong(_byClassName("wrapper","div)));
