Re: [xml] Weird parser problem

["Eric S. Eberhard" <flash vicspdi com>]

OK --> send me the retard prize.  I have (all these years) blindly 
traversed the tree looking for things by name and if I find them returning 
the node.

However ... I never checked the TYPE of the node.

There is a type XML_NODE_TEXT that just happens to have the name filled in 
with "text" and I was returning that node, which has no children, hence no 
children's type or content ...

A simple change on my part to skip those (what are they?) solved that problem.

Silly me, to think they YOUR code had bugs :-)
