    Question Parsing ---- CDATA

    Hi,

    Is there any way to extract the content in CDATA sections...?
    as they cannot be parsed..

    for example

    <message><![CDATA[hello world];]></message>

    in the above tag i want to extrat tag value "hello world"
    which cannot be done by parsing the XML and using --- .getnodeValue()

    ---------------

    thanks
    Sai

    You should be able to parse this as ordinary XML as the CDATA is just a way of saying that the data is unparsed.

    Your XML however appears to be invalid.

    <message><![CDATA[hello world]]></message>

    There was a semicolon between the brackets on the end of the CDATA tag.
