text content (v2)

Revision 2 of this benchmark created by galambalazs on

Description

Observation: .textContent ||.innerText order does matter in modern browsers. IE doesn't care, so put textContent first always.

Note: data, nodeValue and innerHTML are only included out of curiosity.

Preparation HTML

<div id="text">content to be retrieved</div>
<script>
  var elem = document.getElementById("text");
  var node = elem.firstChild;
</script>
