An element has no nodeValue. You have to navigate down one more level, to the element's children -- which, for your SESSIONID and COMMUNITYID tags, will be a single Text node whose value is the string you're looking for. DOM Level 2's Range and Traversal chapters may be useful in gathering larger chunks of text. In particular, I believe Range has an operation that retrieves all text within that Range. But that does require creating and using another object. "Text Node Amelioration" (generally, gathering the text contained in a subtree) is an open issue for DOM Level 3 and later. There are some disagreements about how much more is needed, and exactly how it should behave. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
