Text nodes and element nodes query

A

asd

Hi all,

The code below gets me a list of all the nodes within the node object
called xml_tags_root.

NodeList nl = xml_tags_root.getChildNodes();

The length of nodelist I get is double the number of actual elements!
This is because after every element node there is text node which is (I
think) the whitespace in the XML document.

Is there a way to get only the element nodes?

Please advice.

thanks,
ASD

Thanks for your reply.

Can I get a nodelist which consists of only Element Nodes but no text
nodes out of all the child elements of a node?

getElementsByTagname() will be used when one is aware of the name of
the tag in advance, right?

regards,

asd

Hi,

See getNodeType() in class org.w3c.dom.Node, and various possible static
values :

e.g Node.ELEMENT_NODE, Node.TEXT_NODE ....

Regards,

Arnaud
