Javascript: XML getElementsByTagName in Safari not return elements

Here's part of my XML:

<TextLine Version="2" objectID="3" persistentID="6">
    <BaseProperties Version="5">
        <txBase>665.249</txBase>
        <XPos>221.205</XPos>
        <angle>0</angle>
        <verticalText>false</verticalText>
        <objectLeading>0</objectLeading>
    </BaseProperties>
    <EnclosingObjectType>block</EnclosingObjectType>
    <Alignment>center</Alignment>
    <TRString>xfsadxzcsdf</TRString>
    <RunLengthEncodedCharacterAttributes>
        <CharacterAttributes RunCount="13" StyleRef="4098" TextRef="4096" TXKerning="0" TXPostKerning="0" BaselineShifting="0" />
    </RunLengthEncodedCharacterAttributes>
    <tagName></tagName>
</TextLine>

And for example I put it in xmlString, in Safari:

var parser = new DOMParser();
var xmlObject = parser.parseFromString(xmlString, 'text/xml');
console.log(xmlObject.getElementsByTagName('TRString')[0].innerHTML);

It return error: TypeError: undefined is not an object

The I tried:

console.log(xmlObject.getElementsByTagName('TRString')[0]);

It give you not #element but string. In this example it should be:

<TRString>xfsadxzcsdf</TRString>

I don't have this problem in Chrome. I know it's not hard to solve. But I want to know who is more standard?

does textContent in Safari work for you?

if so, you can use textContent, when innerHTML isn't available...

var xmlValue = xmlObject.getElementsByTagName('TRString')[0].innerHTML ||
               xmlObject.getElementsByTagName('TRString')[0].textContent;
