Super stupid question: using Prototype to get the value in a <h3> tag

[KevySaysBeNice]

I know this will seem really stupid/trivial, but I have NEVER used prototype (JS library) and I am working on a site that is using prototype so I figured I might as well use it to try to solve this (simple) problem and learn something.

It's so simple. I have this:

<h3>Some Text Here</h3>

and I want to be able to get "Some Text Here" out.

I think I can do something like

var h3tag = $$('h3');

But I'm not sure how to actually get the text out of that?

I thought I could do something like

h3tag = $$('h3');
alert(h3tag.text);

But that doesn't seem to do it.

Any help would be very very much appreciated <3

Assuming h3tag returns is array, does h3tag[0].innerHTML work?
