You have got to realize that when we talk of XML, the whitespaces in your document matter and they get counted as a "#text" node. Assuming that xmlObj has the reference of the root node of the document, something like
Here:
Assuming the XML file is:
alert(xmlObj.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue); should do the trick.Here:

xmlObj -> <code> (Element)
childNodes[0] -> Whitespace (Text Node)
childNodes[1] -> <name> (Element)
firstChild -> sree (Text node)
nodeValue -> sree
Assuming the XML file is:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<code>
<name>sree</name>
</code> I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

I'd suggest making sure you don't have any whitespace in your XML. That way, you don't need to have to cater for text nodes where you don't want them.
It may also be better to traverse the XML nodes, instead of selecting 'blindly', unless you are 100% sure the XML structure will not change.
eg: to get first non-text child
function getFirstChildTag(Node) {
var len = Node.childNodes.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
if (Node.childNodes[i].nodeName != '#text') return Node.childNodes[i];
}master.value = getFirstChildTag(xmlObj).firstChild.nodeValue;
or use DOM methods such as getElementsByTagName() so that you're sure you're getting only what you want.
master.value=xmlObj.getElementsByTagName('name')[0].firstChild.nodeValueIf selecting 'blindly', test for the existence of each parent node first, then fallback if it doesn't exist.
eg:
if (xmlObj && xmlObj.childNodes ... etc else ... etc

Of course, running a while loop till I get what I want or picking up elements based on their tag name is how I normally do things. I just wanted to let the OP know where he had made a mistake.

Was aiming that at OP and the DOM universe in general..
