I want to convert an xml element like this:

<asin>​B0013FRNKG​</asin>​

to string in javascript

I used XMLSerializer:

new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(xml);

the string only shows on alert() and in the console. On the page it just says 

[object Element][object Element]

I want to get the string.
