title: set value of input
body: <p>Sometimes code says more then words, so the following lines work:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $("#text11").append($(xml).find("address").find("street"));
   $("#&lt;%= tbWoonplaats.ClientID %&gt;").val('testing?');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but these do not:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var street = $(xml).find("address").find("street");
  $("#&lt;%= tbAdres.ClientID %&gt;").val(street);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it displays [object object] in the input
  now i've tried to replace <code>.val(street);</code>
  with <code>.val(new string(street));</code> but that doesn't work either</p>
  
  <p>appending to a span works but setting with <code>.val()</code> to input doesn't...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;span id="text11"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong>
  the output of </p>
  
  <pre><code>var street = $(xml).find("address").find("street");
  window.alert(street);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is:
  [object Object]</p>
