Im really having a hard time with understanding the child.node.

Question

is this because there isn't the full script?

Answer 1

Well, maybe. What do you not understand about child nodes in DOM? Have you tried making a code with said elements? Did something not work as you expected?

Answer 2

you can manage the childNodes as an array of DOM elements, example:

var c = document.getElementById("anElementId").childNodes[1].text;
