[jQuery] How do you get the name of a tag/node/element?

[jQuery] How do you get the name of a tag/node/element?


I'm trying to convert an xml node into an object...all I want to do is
find the name of the tag...function
function initObjArray(xml, arr, tagName){
    (xml).find(tagName).each(function(){
        var o = new Object();
        var t = $(this);
        var c = t.children();
        c.each( function(){
var key = $(this).TAGNAME;
var val = $(this).text();
o[key] = val;
            });
    });
}
So that:
<fruit>
<type>apple</type>
<color>red</color>
</fruit>
will be:
fruit.type = apple;
fruit.color = red;
