If you give the DIV an ID (<DIV id=MyDIV>), then you can access it via
MyDIV.innerText.
CODE FOLLOWS:
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="Javascript">
function ShowDIV()
{
alert(MyDIV.innerText);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DIV ID=MyDIV>
This is an example of DIV text
</DIV>
<input type="button" value="Click me to see DIV text" onclick="ShowDIV()">
</BODY>
END OF CODE
That will let you read the text in a DIV tag.
Good luck,
