AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName'

[Saad Bin Ahmed]

Hey,

I am using Ubuntu10.04 with python 2.6 on 64bit system,
I want to run xml file but it stucks with an error as mentioned below.

File "online_xml.py" , line 60, in readStrokes
strokes = dom.getElements ByTagName("Stro ke")
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'getElementsByT agName'

Please suggest me about the possible error that may have.
Thanks in advance.

I have been using xml.dom.minidom , but it should work in a similar way. Create an xml document object. getElementsByTa gName is a method of the xml document object.

Example:

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
...snip...
            f = open("data.xml', 'rb')
            self.doc = parseString(f.read())
            f.close()
            value = self.doc.getElementsByTagName(tag)
