NIST If there is not any markup inside an Element or Attr node content, then the text is contained in a single object implementing the Text interface that is the only child of the element. Retrieve the textual data from the second child of the third employee. That Text node contains a block of multiple text lines without markup, so they should be treated as a single Text node. The "getNodeValue()" method should contain the combination of the two lines. Mary Brady 2001-08-17
