problem while accesing the text within the tag

Hi ALL,
I am facing problem while accesing the text within the tag.
My XML (which is well-formed HDML content)looks like this:
Here I am making a select type tag of HTML by applying xsl sheet using java
and Xalan.
I want to show this text say"HELLO!" just before select tag.
HOW CAN I ACCESS THIS TEXT!
Please suggest some methods.
<hdml version="3.0" >
        <action type="accept" task="go" label="acpt" dest="#card7" />
        <choice key="ch" ikey="num" idefault="4" name="chcard" >
                <action type="accept" task="go" dest="#card2" />
                HELLO!
                <ce value="hogs" >hogs...</ce>
                <ce value="bellies" >bellies...</ce>
                <ce value="cattle" > cattle...</ce>
        </choice >
</hdml>
