Accessing Comments in XML using XPath

Question

How to access the comments inside the XML document using XPath?

For example:

<table> <length> 12 </length> <!--Some comment here--> </table> 

I want to access the "Some comment here".

Thanks...

EDIT: I am using MSXML DOM ActiveX and the command comment() seems to be failing... Any idea why?

With the path

/foo/bar/comment() 

you can select all comments in the /foo/bar element. May depend on your language of choice, of course. But generally this is how you do it.
