Way to get Text of element?

[DarkActive]

Hey great work on the library by the way.

I've been looking around and can't seem to find any functionality to get text within an element or an attribute. For example If I was trying to get the text inside a textarea element

Is there are current implementation to do this or will you be adding it in the near future?

I've only just started using these bindings but the other day I tried to read the text from a textfield based on what the API says;

$session->element(...)->getText(); //as far as I remamber, or it might be just ->text()

But that didn't work (returned the empty string) so I had to get the text via the value attribute;

$session->element(...)->attribute('value')

Try getText() / text() if you haven't already, but for me it didn't work for an input[type=text]

Alright thanks, I'll try it out and let you know what I figure out.

Yea ->text() seems to do the trick for values inside a specific element tag. Thanks.
