[Javascript] Getting contents of an element in a node list

I've read in an XML document and have got a node list using getelementsbytagname.

This works ok as the length of the nodelist is 18, which is right having checked the xml document i'm reading in.

Trouble is, i can't workout how to access the contents of the element, i.e.

<title mode="escaped" type="text/html">Long time no see</title>

I've tried the following, but nothing works. (i'm testing using the alert statement).

MyNodeList.item(0).value
MyNodeList.item(0).innerHTML

I've also tried accessing other elements besides 0.

When i do alert(MyNodeList.item(0)) it correctly displays a message box containing [Object Element], so i know the element's there!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

What happends when you do:

alert(MyNodeList.item(0).childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue);

That is because the node contains another node. A text node object which is dreived from a node object. To access it you need to to do the following:

Code:

---

MyNodeList.item(0).childNodes[0].nodeValue

---

Cool that works, thanks Adam.

Just a quick question though, am i right in thinking that you can only get the innerHTML of a leaf element then?? If so, what if i want just a branch of the document tree???
