Reading XML Node_text using microsoft.xmldom

[AnuSumesh]

Hi,

I want to read the text property of XML file.
My xml file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Domain_Credentials>
	<User> anu </User>
	<Password> admin </Password>
	<SearchBaseDN> dc=def,dc=com </SerachBaseDN>
	<Host> abc.def.com</Host>	
</Domain_Credentials>

I want to read the values of <user>,<passwor d> etc.

For reading these values, my code is as follows(in asp file):

                file = "myfiles\DomainCredentials.xml"
                file=Server.MapPath(file)
	tag="Host"
	Set fso =server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists(file) Then
set doc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

	if err.number <> 0 or doc is nothing then
		light_trace "error creating xmldom: " & err.description
	else
		light_trace "create xmldom ok"
	end if

	doc.async = "false"
	doc.load(file)

	if err.number <> 0 or doc is nothing then
		light_trace "error loading xml file: " & err.description
	else
		light_trace "xml file load ok"
	end if		        
               Dim element
               element=""
               element=doc.GetElementsByTagName(tag).item(0).text
    end if

My code failed at line "doc.GetElement sByTagName(tag) .item(0).text".
Earlier a long time back, This code was working fine.
But now giving error.
And also please tell me how to retreive the error description for this line in asp?

I have tried following options also:
1. doc.GetElements ByTagName(tag). item(0).childno des(0).text also
2. doc.selectsingl enode("/Domain_Credenti als/Host").text

But no luck.

Can anyone please help me how to read these values from given xml file?

Regards,
anu

What about:

doc.documentElement.childNodes(0).text
