Parsing XML with JavaScript: No value is returned

[Murd]

Hey Guys!

I’m working on a project where I need to load data via AJAX-Request. To do this I use a XML-File. Everything just works fine until I try to get the values of an “activity”.

_THE XML-FILE_

19
2013-01-23
Some text…
Some text…
1
1

1

20
19
1
3.0
Some text…

My approach was the following:

var a_id = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName(“activity”)[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;

But this returns nothing.

Any idea how to “navigate” to “a_id”?

Could you make a [CodePen](http://codepen.io)? That might make it a bit easier to see what’s going on and try stuff out.
