Let's look at an example. Here is the description element from our mydvd example:

<description>Sales Report for January, February, 
  and &lt;&month;&gt; of 2001</description>

• Up to the entity reference: "Sales Report for January, February, and <"
• Entity reference: April
Trail: "< of 2001"

Let's show that indeed this is the case. First, we find the list of description objects:

objNodeList = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("description");

alert(objNodeList(0).childNodes(0).text);
alert(objNodeList(0).childNodes(1).text);
alert(objNodeList(0).childNodes(2).text);
