e4x

I'm trying to parse some of html where there is are repeating lines of code such as:

<a>This is <span>some text</span> but its <span>not grabbing the span</span> content</a>

So I am looping through the object and extracting this:

object.a[i].text();

but its only returning

"This is  but its  content"

How do I grab the text within the children nodes as well, all as one string?

Cheers
