textContent not working in IE, use innerHTML

My javascript is working fine in FireFox and Safari but when use IE (mine is IE7), it's give me problem [Undefined].

.........................
..........................
this.post[i].head = this.posts[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
this.post[i].title = this.post[i].head.textContent;
.......................
......................

Spend hours to check on the issue and finally found a very simple way to solve it, use innerHTML instead of using textContent.

.........................
..........................
this.post[i].head = this.posts[i].getElementsByTagName('a')[0];
this.post[i].title = this.post[i].head.innerHTML;
.......................
......................

problem solve.

    Be careful with .innerHTML too!

    IE has a few bugs with .innerHTML that you'll want to be aware of.

    See this site:
