DOM question

[Ang Talunin]

Hey,

I've got this code:

var dataDate =
document.createTextNode(x[q].childNodes[3].firstChild.nodeValue);
var dataBody =
document.createTextNode(x[q].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue);

and the first line works fine...but the second gives this error:
x[q].childNodes[4].firstChild.nodeValue has no properties

They are defined almost the same in the xml and i can't find the error

anybody got a idea?

A.T.

ps. Mozilla gives the errors MIE not....

User agents treat white-spaces/new-lines differently, some add text
nodes, some do not. Either remove any ws-nl, or (better) adopt a more
defensive coding approach, don't use indexes, use tree walkers with
filters or IDed elements.


Regards,
Yep.

What Yann-Erwan Perio replied you is correct.
