That got me closer, Ted.  It returned

<span ...>data</span>

So, I'll do another getElementsByTagName('span') on that
and get the innerHTML 
from that one.

Is there a faster route?

Thanks, Ted!

Assuming the structure you're starting with is this:

<td ...><span ...>text you care
about</span></td>
and you have a references tds[6], then you want:

tds[6].firstChild.firstChild.textContent

val = tds[6].textContent

Note: You may want to use Jesse Ruderman's Javascript Shell
[1] to explore
properties and methods of DOM objects.  Just write
"tds[6].", press "TAB"
for autocompletion, and voilą!, you get a list of the 107
properties and
methods of your object. A quick inspection suggests that
textContent is a
good candidate, and in fact it is the right one.

Use the DOM Inspector. That will tell you what you need to
navagate in order 
to get to, I assume, the text node containting the data
you're looking for.
