Sean,
Of course it's possible. You need to target the document and not
just the element that makes the call:
function edit2(evt){
// var objet=evt.target;
var objet = evt.target.ownerDocument;
var tspan1 = objet.getElementById("tspan1"); //Works
tspan1.firstChild.data = "NewText";
}
It works in IE7 and FF. I'm not sure the last line is what you want
to do, just a guess, but tspan1 returns an object so you can do
anything with it.
