Brian,

TEXT IS NOT A NODE!!! Actually Text IS a type of Node! May I ask why you think it is not?

Check the hierarchy of the XmlText class, it inherits from XmlNode like all
the other nodes.

Check the XmlNodeType enumeration, Text is listed as a node type.

Hope this helps
Jay

Because if you traverse the tree using FIRSTCHILD and NEXTSIBLING, you
do not get the text type nodes, only the element type nodes.

Make sense? If a Node can be text, attribute, etc. (which I know from
my XSLT coding) then why does NEXTSIBLING jump to the next text node?
It should be called "NextSiblingElement"?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian

In addition to Jay B.

Have a look at "innertext" and "innerHtml"

I hope this helps
