[RESOLVED] childNodes skipping problem

[friendlygiraffe]

Here is my XML:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' /?>
<root>
    <section text="Hello"></section>
    <section text="Goodbye"></section>
</root>

When I load with this

var my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        aNode = my_xml.firstChild.nextSibling.childNodes[1];
        trace(aNode);
    }
};
my_xml.load("data.xml"); 

it outputs this

<section text="Hello" />

I'm trying to target the next node "Goodbye", but it seems to only work if I use odd numbers. If I call it with childNodes[0]; or childNodes[2]; nothing outputs.. It's not until I use childNodes[3]; that it finds the next node

Why is it skipping a number like that? any clues appreciated

your problem is due to missing this line -- my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;

in this example i push the node attribute into an array.

my_xml = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true; 
my_xml.load("data.xml");

arr = [];

my_xml.onLoad = function(success){ 
if(success){ 
aNode = this.firstChild.childNodes;
len = aNode.length;
for(var n=0;n!=len;n++){
arr.push(aNode[n].attributes['text']);
trace("arr["+n+"] = "+arr[n]);
}
} 
};
