Accessing text between two QWebElement objects in DOM

I am traversing a DOM using Qt’s WebKit classes. Please have a look on the following pseudo HTML: <br>111<a class="node">AAA</a> <br>222<a class="node">BBB</a> ... I can easily find the anchors using findAll(). However I also need to get the text before the elements (“111” and “222”). I tried to use previousSibling() but of course that gives me the <br> element since the “111” and “222” texts are no elements. I found a function to access text within an element, but how can I access between the <br> and the <a> elements?
