hi
this is the code

i have to get the attribute value and the message in it

<paramet>
    <para1 text="some definition of the parameter">/s</para1>
     <para2 text="wat it does etc....">/a</para2>
</paramet>

Hi

Could you please tell me how do i
parse this code

<instructions>
    <p> "test" is a parent element which gives a complete description of the "test" </p>
    <p> " description" gives you the details as to what the test is and its features" </p>
</instructions>

when i tried calling the function by

document.getElementById("instructions").innerHTML= xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("instructions")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

it doesnt retrieve the message and it is because of the <p>
but if i remove that the entire syntax gets ruined
please tell me how do i do it

thanks a lot

I'm confused, what does the last post have to do with the one before it? If you have separate questions can you start a fresh post for each?
For the last post you need xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("instructions")[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue, for the previous one you need paramet/para1/@text and the string value of paramet/para1. Otherwise try to provide a clearer description of what you currently have and what exactly you need.
