    copied!<p>I want to replace a link with its innerHTML, how is it done?</p> <p>Example:</p> <pre><code>Bla bla bla &lt;a href="#nogo"&gt;No link here&lt;/a&gt; bla bla bla </code></pre> <p>has to become</p> <pre><code>Bla bla bla No link here bla bla bla </code></pre> <p>Tried to replace the node with its innerHTML but I can't get the text in the node itself..</p> <p>I guess I have to work with regular expressions but I can't figure out how.</p> <p>EDIT: Thank you all for the quick responses! I still can't seem to get it right. It looks like there's more going on.</p> <p>I am using prototype js as well.</p> <p>I got some text with could contain a link. If the text contains a link it should be replaced by it's innerHTML. It looks something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;td id="text"&gt;This is some text &lt;a href="/link/Go_%28To%29" title="Go (to)"&gt;goto&lt;/a&gt;. Some more text.&lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p>I tried using hasChildNodes() to check wether the text contained a link but it always returns yes, even when the text did not contain a link or other element. So I thought that maybe the text is considered a node too and tried childElements[1]. That returns undefined. So maybe the link is a node of the textnode then. Nothing! I am scraping this data and evalling the JSON so the weirdness may come from that. Walking the DOM in the rest of the response goes well though..</p> <p>However when I alert</p> <pre><code>$('text').childElements()[0] </code></pre> <p>The actual <strong>href</strong> get's alerted! (localhost//link/Go_%28To%29)</p> <p>$('text'.childElements()[0].up() gets me to the actual td parent element.</p> <p>So I am using</p> <pre><code>if($('text').childElements()[0]) </code></pre> <p>To check wether the text contains a link.</p> <p>I guess this gets a bit off-topic but I actually can't get the a element right. Any tips? Maybe a regexp is the best option?</p>
