getElementByTagName object required error

[kdelacruz]

Hello!
In my asp code, I have loaded an xml file and am cycling thru the childnodes.
I have a For ...Next loop that goes thru and (for now) should display each item.
It works fine when I reference each item using a static number:

response.write objXML.getElementsByTagName("presdesc").item(0).text

but when I try to reference items using a variable, like this:

For intCounter = 0 to (objXML.documentElement.childNodes.length + 1)
	response.write objXML.getElementsByTagName("presdesc").item(intCounter).text
	intCounter = intCounter + 1
Next

I get this error in my browser (IE 6):
Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01A8)
Object required: '[object]'


Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that the problem only seems to occur when I use the counter variable. If I create another variable and set it to a static integer:

intMyInt = 3
response.write objXML.getElementsByTagName("presdesc").item(intMyInt).text

it works fine!

This is driving me crazy! I even tried converting my counter variable to an integer, and to a string, with no luck. I also tried

intMyInt = intCounter

and got the same error.
