Problem creating dynamic title for anchors

Hi,

This is a relatively simple problem, I am trying to make a basic anchor have a dynamic title attribute, this is some of the code that should work.

I am trying to get the text with the link and not the href.

<A HREF="test.asp" onmousemove="javascript:this.title=this.text">test </A>

for some reason this is only returning an undefined value. Its probably something simple.

Any Ideas?

use .innerHTML or .innerText instead, same for most tags...

Though that does work on the likes of div tags etc, it seems to be a problem when using the anchor tags, I have tried both of those methods and they return "undefined".

I just tried (again) with .innerHTML and .innerText and it works for divs and anchor tags without any problems in IE....

Which browser are you using?
