[RESOLVED] How to get some node elements in a XML document

I'm having problems to get the values from the tags with no node value, for example:

<itemdata name="someName" />

It seems I can't get the nodeName in this situation. How should I retrieve the attributes values of these tags?

How about this?

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
  'usage
  Debug.Print extractTagValue("<itemdata name=""someName""/>", "itemdata name")
End Sub

Private Function extractTagValue(strString As String, strTag As String)
  Dim lngStart As Long
  Dim lngEnd As Long

  lngStart = InStr(1, strString, "<" & strTag & "=")

  If lngStart Then
      lngStart = (lngStart + Len(strTag) + 2)
      lngEnd = InStr(lngStart, strString, Chr(34))
      lngEnd = InStr(lngEnd + 1, strString, Chr(34))

      If lngEnd Then
        extractTagValue = Mid(strString, (lngStart + 1), (lngEnd - lngStart - 1))
      End If
  End If
End Function

Uhm... I guess I should have especified I'm using MSXML 4.0.

Nevermind... I was forcing the selection of text nodes, and this sort of nodes are just element types.
