DCR Item Node Name

I'm trying to find a way to get the root name of an item that is populated dynamically on open of the DCR. For instance all items under communityMitsAmenities is created dynamically so I may not know specially which of these are in the form. The users could create new ones or delete old ones.

<communityMitsAmenities>
<AmId_637 contentCategory="Community Attributes">t <AmId_650 contentCategory="Community Attributes"/>
<AmId_656 contentCategory="Community Attributes"/>
<AmId_638 contentCategory="Community Attributes"/>
<AmId_651 contentCategory="Community Attributes">t</AmId_651>
<AmId_657 contentCategory="Community Attributes">t</AmId_657>
</communityMitsAmenities>

There is an item handler on each of these items but I need to get the AmId_637 node name along with the text value while the user is editing the form. I assume I use getName in the DCT but not sure if this will return the node name.

Thanks

iwItem.getName() will return the full path to the object (/root/container/item). You can use a JavaScript regex or string matching to just get the last piece, something like:

alert("/path/to/container/and/item".match(/.*\/(.+)$/)[1]);
// shows "item", or
alert(iwItem.getName().match(/.*\/(.+)$/)[1]);
// shows AmID_639 or whatever
