Accessing TDC data

[imaband]

Hello,

I'm using a TDC to grab data from a CSV file. Here is the DSO
declaration.

<object id="qa_data"
classid="clsid: 333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83">
<param name="DataURL" value="QA_Data. csv" />
<param name="UseHeader " value="True" />
</object>

Then I consume the data using the following HTML:

<div id="answer" datasrc="#qa_da ta" datafld="Answer "
dataformatas="t ext">

Never fear, it displays the correct data just
fine........... .......but...

How do I programmaticall y access the VALUE of the above div field from
javascript? I tried

document.getEle mentById("answe r").value;

which does not work. I then tried to access the value using the
recordset collection but the only documentation on the web that I can
find is specific to VBScript or anything but JavaScript.

Thanks,

imaband

I don't know about datasrc's, but a div is a div and div's don't have
values.
Try:

document.getEle mentById("answe r").firstChild. nodeValue;

if you expect the first child to be a text node.
