Access div content from JSNI native function

Question

What I'm trying is elem.innerHtml, I've also tried elem.innerText but I'm getting an empty string as result. Could I accessing an HTMLDivElement content from inside a GWT JSNI function? I would like to get rid of abstruse UiBinder work arounds.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

working under the assumption that the division you want to access is in the DOM and has an id, you can use

Document.get().getElementById("id")

from java, or

$doc.getElementById(String) 

from javascript :)
