I'd wager that you're calling getNodeValue() on an element node. Elements have no value; they have children. In your example, the item element has a single text node child. I suspect you want the value of that node. As I mentioned, you may want to use DOMText::getWholeText() to be sure any adjacent text nodes are included.
Or you can use a handy-dandy new DOM 3 function to get the text of any given node and its descendants: DOMNode::getTextContent(). This should return "varun" if you call it on the item element. It's probably not appropriate if you want to have elements with both text and element content, though. -----Original Message----- From: varun.81 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 07, 2007 5:48 AM To: c-dev@xerces.apache.org Subject: RE: Re: parsing xml thanx a lot for the help....i have been able to parse the file with indentation......but now in my node when i call getNodeValue(). i am not getting the value i expected. my node is like <item>varun</item> when i say getNodeValue() and try to print it i get a blank value. Can you tell my why ?
