How to access AssignedTo in JavaScript Client Object Model

Question

I have a task list that has a field AssigneTo which takes a user via the people picker. I can get the list item I need but I have no idea how I would access the oject being returned for the AssignedTo field.

I have tried

var theUser = listItem.get_item('AssignedTo')
alert(theUser.get_loginName());

and just using

 listItem.get_item('AssignedTo').toString()

Answer 1

listItem.get_item('AssignedTo').get_lookupValue();
