'undefined' announcements in ie

no supporters

Finally found the cause – IE doesn’t respect textContent, everyone else does. so: if ( this ){

                    if ( this.textContent ){ // FF
                            var messagetext = "<p>" + this.textContent + "</p>"
                    }else{  // IE                   
                            var messagetext = "<p>" + this.innerText + "</p>"
                    } 
            }
