Removing "\r\n"

1

hello:

i have this xml file with this structure:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<mgabalita>
 <balita date="26/07/2007" id="the_id" title="title">test
body
news </balita>
</mgabalita>

i have this code to load xml:


var angbalita_xml = new XML();
angbalita_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
angbalita_xml.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {       
          var angbalita = angbalita_xml.firstChild.childNodes;       
          bodytxt = angbalita.childNodes;  
     } else {
          trace ("not loaded");
     }
}
newsinfo_xml.load ("thexmlfile.xml");

when “bodytxt” is displayed, it shows:


test
 
body
 
news

i want it to display like:


test
body 
news

i’m trying to use this code to remove excess "
":


 badi = bodytxt.split("
").join("
"); 
trace(badi);

not sure if i declared it correctly, but it shows “undefined”

can somebody help me on this?
thanks in advanced.
any input is very much appreciated.
