Here's books.xml, an xml that I'm trying to traverse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I want to go to each book and extract all of its children's data, however, I'm having probems: It keeps returning null instead of the values of the text nodes. Here's my code:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="loadXML.js">
</script>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
xmlDoc=loadXMLDoc("books.xml");
var x = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("book");
for(var i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
var y = x[i].childNodes;
for(var j=0;j<y.length;j++)
{
document.write(y[j].nodeValue);
document.write("<br>");
}
document.write("<br>");
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
