    Hello,
    Can someone tell me why I keep getting:
    [object HTMLLIElement][object HTMLLIElement][object HTMLLIElement]
    Code (markup):
    Outputted in Firefox and [object] in IE for this code please?

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en-US">
<head>
<title>Tag Name Locator</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<p>
There are 3 different types of element in this body:
</p>
<ul>
	<li>
	paragraph
	</li>
		<li>
	unordered list
		</li>
			<li>
			list item
			</li>
</ul>
</body>
<script type="text/javascript">
var listItems = document.getElementsByTagName("li");
for (var i = 0; i < listItems.length; i++)
{
document.write(listItems[i]);
}
</script>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    The output is:
    There are 3 different types of element in this body:

    * paragraph
    * unordered list
    * list item

[object HTMLLIElement][object HTMLLIElement][object HTMLLIElement]
    Code (markup):
    Shouldn't it be showing me the content of the li tag?

    Doesn't matter solved. Should be document.write(listItems.innerHTML);
