JavaScript, getting value of a td with id name

Originally I was using input with an id and grabbing it's value with getElementById. Currently, I'm playing with <td>s. How can I grab the values of the <td>?

Originally I used:

<input id="hello">
document.getElementById("hello").value;

Now I want to get value of <td>, but I don't know how;

<td id="test">Chicken</td>
<td>Cow</td>

Edit: What's the difference between textContent, innerHTML, and innerText?

.innerText doesnt work in Firefox.

.innerHTML works in both the browsers.

For input you must have used value to grab its text but for td, you should use innerHTML to get its html/value. Example:

alert(document.getElementById("td_id_here").innerHTML);

To get its text though, use:

alert(document.getElementById("td_id_here").innerText);

Again with getElementById, but instead .value, use .innerText

<td id="test">Chicken</td>
document.getElementById('test').innerText; //the value of this will be 'Chicken'

To get the text content

document.getElementById ( "tdid" ).innerText

or

document.getElementById ( "tdid" ).textContent

var tdElem = document.getElementById ( "tdid" );
var tdText = tdElem.innerText | tdElem.textContent;

If you can use jQuery then you can use 

$("#tdid").text();

To get the HTML content

var tdElem = document.getElementById ( "tdid" );
var tdText = tdElem.innerHTML;

in jQuery

$("#tdid").html();

Have you tried: getElementbyId('ID_OF_ID').innerHTML?

If by 'td value' you mean text inside of td, then:

document.getElementById('td-id').innerHTML

use the

innerHTML

property and access the td using getElementById() as always.
