I want to get the name of a certain tag (to tell whether it is a div/input/span/p/so on)
I found that there are 3 different attributes that give me the tag name:
tagName
, nodeName
, and localName
My question is: Which one is the most supported in all browsers? And/or is there a method to get the tag name in Prototype (I looked but couldn't find one)?
