RE: accessing xsl with XML DOM and javascript

Elise,
>From the docs

getAttribute Method  [Script]
Gets the value of the attribute.

[Script]
Script Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMElement.getAttribute(name);
Parameters
name
A string specifying the name of the attribute to return.
Return Value
A variant. Returns a string that contains the attribute value or returns the
empty string if the named attribute does not have a specified or default
value.

Example
var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
var nodeBook, sIdValue;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
nodeBook = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("//book");
sIdValue = nodeBook.getAttribute("id")
alert(sIdValue);
[Visual Basic]
Visual Basic Syntax
objValue = oXMLDOMElement.getAttribute(name)
Parameters
name
A string specifying the name of the attribute to return.
Return Value
A variant. Returns a string that contains the attribute value or returns the
empty string if the named attribute does not have a specified or default
value.
Remarks
You can also retrieve attributes by using the getNamedItem method of the
IXMLDOMNamedNodeMap.

So your code would be
return node.item(0).getAttribute("name");
or
return node.nextNode.getAttribute("name");
