Getting Content Between Tags
Hi,
This is probably considered a newbie question, but I'd
really appreciate any help I can get.
I don't know how to extract the values between XML
tags. I can see that getNodeValue doesn't do the
trick, and I remember reading in the mail archive that
it always returns null for element tags. Is there a
way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Nicole

Thank you Alberto and Joseph for getting me on the
right track! I just worked the code you provided into
my existing code, and I'm getting good results!

Hi Nicole,
You need to walk down to the children of the element node and invoke
getNodeValue on the text node. Something like that (if you know that you
can have only simple string - no child tags - between the XML tags):
DOM_Node child = element.getFirstChild();
while( child != 0)
{
if(child.getNodeType()==DOM_Node::TEXT_NODE)
return child.getNodeValue();
child = child.getNextSibling();
}
