DOM element data retrieval?

[Barry, Gregory P.]

Is there an interface/method available to access the DOM Document/tree
for retrieval of data based on tag or tree hierarchy (e.g. is there a
method were you can pass in the subtree tag name with an element name to
retrieve the data something on the order of
getValue(SubTreeName.TagName). Or does this need written in the
application that is using the DOM parser using the traversal methods?

 

I also sent to c-dev in the event this is a dev question.

 

Thanks,
