Hi,

Let me see if I get your problem correctly...

you have an element called
<NAME> James bond </NAME>
and u want to extract the value of name that is "james bond"

First traverse down the DOM tree till u get a node that has the name NAME
 this can be done using getNodeName( )  ).
If u want to get the text what this node contains, do a getFirstChild ( ) on
this node ... this will give u a node that has the
a name "#text" if u call the getNodeValue( ) on this node you will get the
actual content of the element ( james bond )

Basically, the text value of an element is one node below the node that
contains the name of the element.

all the best,
Abhishek.
