Hi, I am trying to understand the above module. I run the following code
foreach $node ($dom->findnodes('//*')) { if ($node->nodeType() == 3) { print "found a text node\n"; } print "node name is ", $node->nodeName(), "\n"; if ($node->hasChildNodes() == 0) # FALSE { print "No children: node text is ", $node->textContent(), "\n" +; }
It does not work as expected. It is not picking up text nodes so <title>book title</title> shows title which has a text element ("book title") and so has children. But it is not picking up the text nodes. What am I doing wrong? regards, John
