ELEMENT_NODE appears as TEXT_NODE

[Kimberly Stewart]

I'm a novice to both XML authoring and Xerces so I'm working from
samples to get everything set up.  I've started a simple program to
parse my sample .xml and output it's contents.
 
I was expecting several ELEMENT_NODEs and a few TEXT_NODEs, however my
output indicates that everything in my .xml is a TEXT_NODE.
 
This is preventing me from being able to access the actual element name,
and is returning #text as the node name for every node in the DOM tree.
 
Any suggestions on why this is occurring and how to correctly identify
the elements as ELEMENT_NODEs?
 
Thanks!
 
Here's the pertinent code:
 
// create tree walker to traverse all elements in the DOMDocument Tree
DOMElement *docRoot = document->getDocumentElement(); // get root to
give walker
DOMTreeWalker* walker = document->createTreeWalker(docRoot,
DOMNodeFilter::SHOW_TEXT, NULL, true);
DOMNode* curNode;
   
// traverse the DOMDocument
while ((curNode = walker->nextNode()) != NULL)
{
    // print out information on the nodes
    char* strValue = XMLString::transcode(curNode->getNodeValue());
    printf("Nodes Value is: %s \n ", strValue);
    XMLString::release(&strValue);

    DOMNode::NodeType type = curNode->getNodeType();
    printf("Node Type: %d \n", type); 
    
    char* strName = XMLString::transcode(curNode->getNodeName());
    printf("Node Name: %s \n", strName);
    XMLString::release(&strName);
    
    char* strContent = XMLString::transcode(curNode->getTextContent()); 
    printf("Node Content: %s \n", strContent);
    XMLString::release(&strContent);
}

And here's the output
 
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
Nodes Value is: 1001
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content: 1001
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
Nodes Value is: Jag
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content: Jag
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
Nodes Value is: 27
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content: 27
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
Nodes Value is:
 
 Node Type: 3
Node Name: #text
Node Content:
 
And here's the .xml
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Employees xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> "
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="C:\. . .\Employees.xsd">
 <Employee>
  <ID>1001</ID>
  <Name>Jag</Name>
  <Age>27</Age>
 </Employee> 
</Employees> 
 
And the schema (for good measure)
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
      <xs:element name="Employees">
            <xs:annotation>
                  <xs:documentation>Contains All Employee
information</xs:documentation>
            </xs:annotation>
            <xs:complexType>
                  <xs:sequence>
                        <xs:element name="Employee"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
                              <xs:complexType>
                                    <xs:sequence>
                                          <xs:element name="ID"
type="xs:string"/>
                                          <xs:element name="Name"
type="xs:string"/>
                                          <xs:element name="Age"
type="xs:int"/>
                                    </xs:sequence>
                              </xs:complexType>
                        </xs:element>
                  </xs:sequence>
            </xs:complexType>
      </xs:element> 
</xs:schema>
