It's tough to say for sure what to do without seeing the page and
associated feed. nevertheless, try changing your line:
date.innerHTML = date.getElementsByTagName("eventDate");
to this:
date.innerHTML =
date.getElementsByTagName("eventDate")[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
The [0] bit grabs the actual element. The firstChild bit grabs the text
node that contains that actual information. And the nodeValue *should* get
the actual text in that node.
As indicated, it's tough to offer any definitive recommendations without
seeing the page in action. If this doesn't work, post a link to the page -
working or not - and we'll take a look.
