Extracting tag attributes

Jul 4th, 2009

I spent last 10 hours trying to figure out how to extract attributes from this:

 Help with Code Tags 
 RSS, Web Services and SOAP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
<yweather:wind chill="76"   direction="230"   speed="8" />
<yweather:wind chill="76"   direction="230"   speed="8" />

rsstxt1 = response[0].getElementsByTagName("yweather:wind").item(0).attributes[0].value;

doesn't work. And I tried everything else.

response[0].getElementsByTagName("ttl").item(0).textContent

works fine

Just can't get any attribute values from tags with values instead of contents.

Please please help. Thanks.
