Have you tried not using cdata at all? If your html text is xml
compliant (XHTML) then you can use xpath to get the value of the node
and return it. Then you load the text. I just had to solve the same
problem and it worked beautifully.
XPath select Nodes returns an array of child nodes. Take the returned
array and join it using and empty string and you now have a string of
html text. Then use css to mark it up and you're done.
Here is the function that loads the xml:
function loadXml(){
//trace("load xml called");
this.xml = new XML();
this.xml.ignoreWhite = true;
this.xml._parent = this;
this.xml.onLoad = function () {
//trace("xml loaded");
this._parent.headertext =
XPath.selectNodesAsString(this, "/page/h1/text()");
var c = XPath.selectNodes(this,
"/page/content/node()");
this._parent.contenttext = c.join("");
//trace("header text <::> "+this._parent.headertext);
//trace("content text <::> "+this._parent.contenttext);
// resume the load manager to load the next item
this._parent.loadManager.resume();
}
// this.datafile is just the path to the xml file
this.xml.load(this.datafile);
}
Here is the xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<page>
<h1>This is the name of the page</h1>
<content>
<h2>This is a second level header</h2><br/>
<p>blah lbha lbhh Blah </p><br/>
<h2>This is a header</h2><br/>
<p>more content</p><br/>
<h2>another header</h2><br/>
<p>blah blah </p><br/>
</content>
</page>

This is the only thing I have found that works:
XMLNode((XPath.selectNodes(myXML,"root/node/text()")[0])).nodeValue;
Ugly isn't it?
