Definition and Usage
The nodeValue property sets or returns the node value of the specified node.

Tip: An alternative to the nodeValue property can be the textContent property.

The nodeValue property is supported in all major browsers.
Syntax
Set the node value:
node.nodeValue=value
Return the node value:
