[fpc-pascal] getting XML element's value using dom.pp unit

[Bisma Jayadi]

Hi all...

I'm currently developing a Lazarus application which need to read an XML file. 
In order to do such a task, FPC has provided DOM unit (dom.pp). But, it seems 
that dom.pp is unable to read XML element's (text) value. It succesfully read 
element's name (through NodeName property) and attributes (name and value) 
though. Getting element's name (through NodeValue property) always return an 
empty string.

What did I do wrong? Or am I missing something about the dom.pp usage? Here are 
the codes I used...

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   doc: TXMLDocument;
begin
   ReadXMLFile(doc, 'sample.xml');

   // this returns correct first attribute's name
   Memo1.Lines.Add(doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.Attributes.Item[0].NodeName);
   // this returns correct first attribute's value
   Memo1.Lines.Add(doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.Attributes.Item[0].NodeValue);
   // this returns correct first element's name
   Memo1.Lines.Add(doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeName);
   // this returns nothing !!!
   Memo1.Lines.Add(doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeValue);
end;

I really appreciate any kind of helps. I thank you in advance.
