Anyone know why its returning the jsobject bit and not the attribute?

I'm using the library and the wc3dom library.

     //instantiate the W3C DOM Parser

    parser = new DOMImplementation();

    //load the XML into the parser and get the DOMDocument

    //get the root node (in this case, it is SAMPLES)

    docRoot = domDoc.getDocumentElement();

    firstTag1 = docRoot.getChildNodes().item(0);

    alert = firstTag1.getAttributes().item(0).getNodeValue();

Hi,
Anyone know why its returning the jsobject bit and not the attribute?

This is from the max window:
print: jsobject 22669296 

function loadFile(filePath)
{
	file = new File(filePath);
	xml =  file.readstring(9999999);

	 //instantiate the W3C DOM Parser
	parser = new DOMImplementation();

	//load the XML into the parser and get the DOMDocument
	domDoc = parser.loadXML(xml);

	//get the root node (in this case, it is SAMPLES)
	docRoot = domDoc.getDocumentElement();

	//get the first "Key" element
	firstTag1 = docRoot.getChildNodes().item(0);

	//display the data
	alert = firstTag1.getAttributes().item(0).getNodeValue();

It would mean that the alert object is something other than a String, 

Array, or Number object. These are the only entities which are 

automatically converted. You'll want to investigate further the xmljs 

library to determine what methods you'll want to call to convert the 

object to one of these classes. Perhapt there's a toString() method
