Way to get innertext of all childnodes of a node?

[musicgold]

Hi,

Is there a way to get innerText from all childnodes of a node quickly? I am using VBA.

A web page has a node "H1" which in turn has several childnodes, some of them are "p" and some are "STRONG". I need to get the text in these nodes. I tried to use getelementsbytagname and getattribute methods, but it is getting too complex. Is there an easy way?

Thanks,

MG.

Have you looked at the DOM structure? I believe you have to traverse the tree by going from top down although in most cases you don't need to include the root. I think this question is more suited in the Web Design & Development section of the forum.

Once you have the get_the_element_by_tag_name("H1") then the innerHTML text will be all the text that it and all of its child nodes have.
