     HTMLElement.prototype.__defineGetter__("innerText", function () {
         if (this.textContent) {
             return this.textContent;
         } else {
             var r = this.ownerDocument.createRange();
             r.selectNodeContents(this);
             return r.toString();
         }
     });
     HTMLElement.prototype.__defineSetter__("innerText", function (str) {
         if (this.textContent) {
             this.textContent = str;
         } else {
             this.innerHTML = str.replace(/&/g, '&').replace(/>/g, '>').replace(/\n");
         }
     });
 }
