Prototype equivalent to JQuery $(this).text()

Hi,

I am trying to covert a JQuery script to prototype. Here is the line I am having difficulty with:

$('body').removeAttr('class').addClass($(this).text());

I am unable to find equivalent to $(this).text().

OK, I was able to get the same result using the following in prototype:

$(document.body).addClassName($(this).innerHTML);
Thanks.
