Nodes in jsTree are essentially wrapped list items. This will get you a reference to the first one.

var n = $.tree.focused().get_node('li:eq(0)')

You can replace $.tree.focused() if you have a reference to the tree.

To get the id, take the first matched element

if (n.length)

    id = n[0].id

or you can use the jQuery attr function, which works on the first element in the set

id = n.attr('id');
