I guess I should access the text nodes as children of the items I'm accessing? ie. Element.getChildNodes() and make sure the nodes are? does whitespace come back as a TEXT_NODE? Node.TEXT_NODE Cheers. Gareth. Mark Mandel wrote: Well there are 2 things at play here - 1) Elements don't neccessarily have text (you may want a TEXT_NODE) 2) getTextContent() is a Java 1.5 method, so you could either have (a) the wrong JDK version or (b) it may not be implemented on the XML parser you are using.
