mark, the following is close. i played around with a number of different approaches, and i have a basic question...
####################### my @sectionTRs = $doc->findnodes('//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"sectionheading"]]'); foreach $section (@sectionTRs) { my $nextTR = $section->nextSibling(); my @keys = $nextTR->findnodes('td/strong'); my @values = $nextTR->findnodes('td/text()'); # save keys and values } ####################### how do i view the actual underlying html for the nextTR/key/value... when dealing with libxml, how can i display/print out/dump what i'm looking at. various methods produce XML::LibXML::NodeList, XML::LibXML::Element, etc... but i can't find any way to print/display the underlying html/text for a given element. my question, is there a way to "convert" the node/nodelist/element to html... or am i essentially hosed!! the basic reason for the question is to try and be able to switch between using libxml/xpath and treebuilder methods as i'm parsing html docs... searches of google/cpan haven't turned up a working solution... thanks.. -bruce
