Alternative to innerText for Firefox

[El_Guapo]

I'm using innerText to update values on a quote page when the user click certain checkboxes and i need to know if there is a straightforward alternative to using the IE compatible innerText method in Firefox?

Here is the function that uses the innerText method:

function setText(pItem, pValue)
{
  var y;
  var z;
  
  y = document.getElementById(pItem);
  z = y.innerText;
  
  
    
  if (z == pValue)
    {
      y.innerText = 0;
      if (pItem == 'adb') totalABD = 0;
      if (pItem == 'pai') totalPAI = 0;
      if (pItem == 'hcp') totalHCP = 0;
      
      // Start:
      if (pItem == 'ho1') totalHO1 = 0;
      if (pItem == 'ho2') totalHO2 = 0;
      // End:
    }

  else {  
  y.innerText = pValue;
  } 
  
  // Start:
  grandTotal = parseFloat(totalABD) + parseFloat(totalPAI) + parseFloat(totalHCP) + parseFloat(totalHO1) + parseFloat(totalHO2);
  // End
   AngrandTotal =(parseFloat(totalABD) + parseFloat(totalPAI) + parseFloat(totalHCP) + parseFloat(totalHO1) + parseFloat(totalHO2)) * 12;
    
  z = document.getElementById('total');
  z.innerText = round(grandTotal);
  
  z1 = document.getElementById('Antotal');
  z1.innerText = round(AngrandTotal);  
}

Here is how the function is called when clicking on one of the checkboxes:

<input id="pai_StdSin" type="checkbox" name="pai_StdSin" onClick="javascript:setText('pai', '<%= (session.getAttribute("PricePAStdSin") == null)?"":session.getAttribute("PricePAStdSin") %>');" value="Checked">

So any ideas what alternative method can be used for Firefox browsers?

Use innerHTML. Both IE and Firefox (and other modern browsers) support it.

Could also use .textContent.

Thanks for all your help guys, but i used

firstChild.data

in the end, which works just fine in FF and IE.
