Most simply, if you need to stick with xml.dom.minidom; just check the nodeType and make sure its not 3 (textNode): from xml.dom import minidom doc = minidom.parse(fileTest) for item in doc.documentElement.childNodes: if not item.nodeType == 3: print item.nodeName Regards, Jordan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
