I have some sample XHTML data, like this:

<html>
    <head>
        <style type="text/css">
            ..snip
        </style>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0a4.1/jquery.mobile-1.0a4.1.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="contentA">
             This is sample content <b> that is bolded as well </b>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Now, what I need to do, is using an xmlNode *, get the inner HTML of the div contentA. I have the xmlNode * for it, but how can I get the innerXML of that? I looked at content, but that only returns This is sample content and not the xml in the bold tags. I looked into jQuery for this, but due to limitations on Apple and JavaScript, I cannot use jQuery to get the innerXML of that node.

On another note, Is there another library I should be using to get the inner XML? I looked into TBXML, but that had the same problem.

    The content of the div node is not a single text string. It probably consists of:

    1. A text node containing This is sample content (with the preceding new line).
    2. an element node with a tag name of b
    3. A text node containing the trailing new line and the indentation up to the div‘s closing tag.

    The element node for the <b>...</b> will have the text content that is bolded as well.

    To get all the text in the div as one string, you’ll need to recursively descend through the entire tree of child nodes looking for text content.
