Do you know anything about the "#text" node type?
For example, when mapping the DOMed XML to a treeview (example:)

<item identifier="INTRO" identifierref="RESOURCE_INTRO">
      <title>Introduction</title>
</item>

The treeview looks something like this:

+Node: Item INTRO
    + Node: Title Introduction
    + Attrib: identifierref RESOURCE INTRO
       +Node #text Introduction

I have code to filter the #text (node) out - but it is a nusiance. Is there a DOM function I can use to prohibit "#text" node types from showing up. Where do they come from, anyway?:)


For example, when I map the "loaded" XML
