Getting Node Value using SAX

[Graham Thorpe]

Hi

Can any body tell us how to get the node value using SAX.
I have one xml as follows
<One>
<TABLE name="dress">
<TR>
<TD name="id">18</TD>
<TD name="number">3</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</One>

Can any body tell us where i am wrong with this code for geting the element node values (<TD> like 18 and 3 for the particular node <one>?

With the above i am getting output like this

name
id
-----
name
number
