get the value from a div tag

[onressy]

Hi i have a div that has a 0 value by default, all values it will contain are numeric.

<div id="v5">0</div>

I trying to read the value of the innerHTML but am having no luck, is this possible? This is what i have so far:

if (document.getElementById("v5").innerHTML.value > 0) {


any suggestions?

>>document.getElementById("v5").innerHTML.value

there is no value method for innerHTML

try this:
TheStr=document.getElementById("v5").innerHTML
if(TheStr.length>0)
{
alert("Something is there!")
}
