jsTree jQuery: select_node error: "Cannot read property 'obj' of undefined"

I get "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'obj' of undefined" when I clicked a jsTree node on my website.

Upon node click, the jsTree should use a key to retrieve a value, save it to a form, and submit the form. This is how "attr" in my JSON is defined:

"attr":{"href":"/animal/mammal/dog"}

This is how the node is bound: 

$("#divCategoryTree")
  .jstree(config_obj)
  .bind("select_node.jstree", function(e, data) {
    var href = data.rslt.obj.attr("href");
    $("#hdCategoryPath").val(href);
    $("#searchForm").submit();
    e.preventDefault();
});

I have to confess, I am not entirely sure about what data.rslt.obj.attr does, but it seems like a standard practice in online examples. I think it goes to the object's attr field and uses href as the key to retrieve its respective value. If anyone can point me to its documentation, I will be very grateful.
