Ingolme Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Empty text nodes are still considered text nodes. That includes line breaks between tags. You should use getElementsByTagName() to get the element you want. You also need to access the text node once you have the element. var book = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[2]; // Get the book you're looking for (number 2 in the list)var authors = book.getElementsByTagName("author"); // Get a list of authors of the book.var a = authors[3]; // The author you want is number 3 on the listvar name = a.firstChild; // The name is the textnode contained in the <author> elementdocument.write(a.nodeValue); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingolme Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 Because I told it to write a.nodeValue instead of name.nodeValue. A simple mistake, you should look through the code and try to find these kind of mistakes yourself. It's important to understand the code instead of just copying and pasting.

Ingolme Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I tested this code on that page and it works fine: var book = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book")[2]; // Get the book you're looking for (number 2 in the list)var authors = book.getElementsByTagName("author"); // Get a list of authors of the book.var a = authors[3]; // The author you want is number 3 on the listvar name = a.firstChild; // The name is the textnode contained in the <author> elementdocument.write(name.nodeValue); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
