Using ASP and XMLDOM -can't retrieve values

mussitsch · January 21st, 2009, 03:32 PM

Hi - I have a complex XML file and am using XMLDOM to retrieve it's values.
I have all <CONTACT> elements being retrieved in a list. I want to loop thru that list and retrieve various sub-elements (such as name, phone, email). I can loop thru and get the element name, but for some reason I can't get the value. nodeValue doesn't retrieve anything and .Text seems to retrieve too much. It's a big long string (possibly holding the text from all descendants too?)

Can anyone help?
Thanks.
Melissa

Well, there's a bug in your code. But without seeing your XML source or your code, there's not much hope of helping you find it.

You are exactly correct!
I was just sending my code in an email to someone and noticed that my .text call was on the Node and not the element ... this is why I got the big list of values.

Thanks so much for responding!
