Html tag in XML

Hi,

I have a problem with XML ovject. In my xml file, it looks like:
<basket>
<food id=0>'Apple'</food>
<food id=1>'Orange'</food>
</basket>

When I use the actionscript “this.current_node.firstChild.nodeValue”, I get ‘Apple’, but my application needs to get 'Apple&39;.

Can anyone help me?
