VBScript:



Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")


 objXMLDoc.async = False


 objXMLDoc.load("passeriformes.xml")



 Dim child1, child2


 Set child1 = objXMLDoc.documentElement.firstChild


 Set child2 = child1.nextSibling


 document.write(child2.text)

Output:

Motacillidae Rock Pipit Water Pipit Yellow Wagtail

Explanation:

This example uses the 'passeriformes.xml' file which details the bird families belonging to that order. It first gets the firstChild node of the root, and then uses the nextSibling property to print the text of the node that follows it.
