NIST The "getData()" method returns the content of the processing instruction. It starts at the first non white character following the target and ends at the character immediately preceding the "?>". Retrieve the ProcessingInstruction node located immediately after the prolog. Create a nodelist of the child nodes of this document. Invoke the "getData()" method on the first child in the list. This should return the content of the ProcessingInstruction. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
