A good approach is using feature-tests at load-time, when you test for
either textContent or innerText only once. Then, you will use one of
them in the rest of your code / library. E.g.
(function (global) {
// feature-tests at load-time.
var parseEl = document.createElement('div');
var get_inner_text;
if (typeof parseEl.textContent != 'undefined') {
// DOM Level 3 - IE9+, FF, Safari, etc.
get_inner_text = function (el) {
return (el.textContent);
};
} else if (typeof parseEl.innerText != 'undefined') {
get_inner_text = function (el) {
return (el.innerText);
};
}
global.get_inner_text = get_inner_text;
}(this));
Keep in mind the differences between textContent and innerText, though.
