Javascript syntactic sugar for object value setter

Is there an easy way to do this in one line

( node.innerText || node.textContent ) = text
// node = DOM node  
// text = string

Obviously the above does not work.

One could do it like this: 

node['textContent' in node? 'textContent' : 'innerText'] = text

Use JQuery to shorten your syntax

use .text() method

so your code will be 

if($(selector).text() = text){
// your code here
}

Just use node.innerText = node.textContent = text, which is harmless.

First, not-so-compact attempt

node.innerText ? node.innerText = text : node.textContent = text
