Need element from webpage Dudely 09-13-2008

I've got a weird problem. I'm trying to pull the phone number off a
webpage (you can see it below if you search for "context"), but
somehow SKYPE has usurped the HTML DOM in a way I don't understand.

Interestingly, none of the below shows up if I simply "view source".
However, when I go into the VBA editor and watch my variables, I'm
able to find it inside one of the elements. I've copied what I found
here. No amount of walking the DOM seems to get me to that phone
number. I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that it's
an XML statement, but I'm clueless as to what to do from here.

So again, how do I pull the phone number out of the below? I'm doing
this in VBA 6 if it matters, but can probably translate from
javascript if necessary.

Thank you in advance!
