Message: [QUOTE="Martin Honnen, post: 4936374"] If you know the structure of the XML exactly then all you need is e.g. var root = xmlDoc.documentElement; var result = root.getElementsByTagName('RESULT')[0]; var security = root.getElementsByTagName('SECURITY')[0]; if (result != null) { // now you can access the content for above simple example // it suffices to do e.g. alert(result.firstChild.nodeValue); } if (security != null) { alertt(security.firstChild.nodeValue); } Depending on which browsers you want to support there are other solutions, W3C DOM Level 2 implementations (like older Mozillas, like Opera 8) do not expose a property that concatenates the text contents of all children and desendants in a element node so for that you would need to write your own. For Firefox or newer Mozillas and for Opera 9 there however is the textContent property, for MSXML in IE there is the text property so restricted to those you could also script e.g. if (result != null) { if (typeof result.textContent != 'undefined') { alert(result.textContent); } else if (typef result.text != 'undefined') { alert(result.text); } } Firefox and Opera 9 also support the W3C DOM Level 3 XPath API.
