Thanks Bastien!
That worked very well. I now see the attributes. However it does not  
load the root node?
I am going to need that node to display too. Any thoughts as to why it  
is not showing?
I just copied and pasted your code. I'm going to look at some docs to  
see if I can find out why,
but if you know, please let me know your solution. Thanks again.
