split a nodeValue

[hamburgerlove413]

Hello,

 I'm getting an XML tag node value using var dropOption = document.createTextNode(title[0].firstChild.nodeValue); and after I want to be able to split that certain places like you can with a string using split. Is this possible? I tried using split on dropOption after I get the value but it doesn't work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though, because wouldn't the nodeValue become a string after it's assigned to the variable?

 

Edit: nevermind, I've got it figured out, i needed to assign the nodeValue to a variable before using that to create the text node, this post can be deleted.
