How to access element names with dots and spaces?

Ragnar Heil

This line works fine for me:
Set objDOMnode = objDom.selectSingleNode("//headline")
strHeadline = objDOMnode.Text

Now I want to get the value from this node:

<nitf>
- <head>
- <docdata>
- <date.issue norm="20020308T153751+0100" />

Why does these line not give the correct results?
Set objDOMnode = objDom.selectSingleNode("//date.issue norm")
strDate= objDOMnode.Text

1. get the element node for "date.issue"
2. get the attribute value for "norm"

You saeem to be treating this as if it were an element called
"date.issue norm". It isn't, it's an element called "date.issue"
with an attribute called "norm".

Element names can't have spaces in.

Thank you both for your replies!

I tried two ways to get the value

1) Set objDateNode = objDom.selectSingleNode("//date.issue")
Set DateNodeAttr = objDateNode.Attributes
norm = DateNodeAttr.getNamedItem("norm")
strDate = norm.xml

2) DateNodeAttrLength = DateNodeAttr.length
For i = 1 To DateNodeAttrLength
strDate = DateNodeAttr(i).Value
Next

what is the prefered way?

Both ways dont work :-(
