Answer 1

You send the id with the onclick function and then you reference the label via:

document.getElementById("myBtn").text;

So basically:

<a id="1" onClick="reply_click(this.id)">B1</a><br />
<a id="2" onClick="reply_click(this.id)">B2</a><br />
<a id="3" onClick="reply_click(this.id)">B3</a>

<script type="text/javascript">
var newText = 'Thank You';
function reply_click(clicked_id)
{
    alert(document.getElementById(clicked_id).text);
    document.getElementById(clicked_id).text = newText;
}
</script>

Edit: Apologies, didn't see you were using anchors instead of buttons as your question mentions, my fault. I also added how to change the text.
