outerText
Description
Sets or retrieves the text of the current element.
Syntax
object.outerText[ = outerText]
Settings
This read-write property can be any valid string. When setting this property, the given string completely replaces the original text in the element, except for <html>, <head>, and <title> tags.
Note You cannot set this property while the document is loading. Wait for the onload event before attempting to set it. If a tag is dynamically created using TextRange, innerHTML, or outerHTML, you can only use JScript to create new events to handle the newly formed tags. VBScript is not supported.
