Hi Bern, first I would recommend you to use Mozilla and Firebug to debug such cases, it is _extremely_ helpful.
In your specific situation the problem is that the first child of <photo> is not description, but a textNode (empty). So odd children are textNodes and even children are the description elementNodes you look for. This is the correct expression: markers[i].childNodes[1].textContent Regards, Davide On May 31, 9:13 am, bern <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm following Pamela's XML parsing demo > -http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/xmlparsing/downloadu... > > My attempt here -http://norestforthewicked.net/nihon09/test2 > > My issue is getting to the "description" in the XML that I've accessed > via the Flickr API.
