javascript parsing HTML from XML

[manu3d]

Hi all,

I have an XML file that among other things has the following node.
As you can see it contains HTML tags.

<description lang="en">
<![CDATA[
<div class="descrBoxRight" style=" top:250; left:200">
ENGLISH <b>ENGLISH</bENGLISH ENGLISH
</div>
]]>
</description>

With javascript, in Mozilla, I easily retrieve the content of the
XML "description" tag using the following line of code

var myStuff = myDescrNode.textContent;

However, in IE (6.0)

var myHTML = myDescrNode.textContent;

and

var myHTML = myDescrNode.innerText;

do not work, resulting in myHTML being undefined.

Alternative solutions? Should I remove the CDATA tag
and use a completely different method?

Thanks for your help.

Manu

IE uses MSXML where you need to use
myDescrNode.text
