Function: getText(domElement)



Shorthand: text(domElement)



Description: Returns the inner text content of a DOM node.



Returns: String.



Note: The getText() function will only return the inner text of an element, not including any alternative text that is added using element attributes such as title, alt, aria-label, aria-labelledby, nor aria-owns. To return the accessible name computation instead, use the getAccName() function as documented in ARIA Development.



Example:



var textString = $A.getText(domElement);



// Or the same using chaining



var textString = $A(domElement).getText();
