Access to Textelement

Hi,

I need access to the value of a textelement. I used an id for the textelement. I see the values in the report, but how can I access them using javascript (getElementById only accesses the textelement itself)?

ELEMENT_TYPE_1: VARIABLE (VARIABLE_K doesnot work neither)

ELEMENT_NAME_1: 0COUNTRY

How can I check, if e.g. GERMANY was selected as country?

Any answers are appreciated.

Regards
