How do I get the text content of a link?

Martin Honnen,

NN4 has a
  text 
property for links (A HREF elements) while IE4+ uses the 
  innerText
property available for all HTML elements.
So
  var link = document.links[linkIndex];
  var text = document.all ? link.innerText : 
             link.text ? link.text : '';
is a cross browser way to access the text content of a link.
