How to add/set custom attributes to an item in Tree

Hi,

This question is in continuation with the one I asked earlier
index.php?s=normal&q=2302&a=2914


My problem is that I want to add new attributes to a node which I am creating using the insertNewItem method.
When I create a node the above function only accept the default image icons, I want to add more attributes to it like attr1="1" attr2="2" attr3="3"


newItem.attrs[attr_name]=value;

The above code snippet is useful only when I have a node which already has an attribute "attr_name.

My issue is how to create such a node in the first place, so that it contains these attributes.
insertNewItem according my knowledge does not allow me to create node which has user defined attributes.

Ex:
<item text="ABS" id="ABS" isGroup="0" im0="leaf.gif" im1="leaves.gif" im2="leaf.gif" attr1="1" attr2="2" attr3="3"/>
attributes in RED are the attributes which I want to add to my item, when ever I create an item.


When I try to just create a node and set value for its attribute

var newItem=tree.insertNewItem(tree.getSelectedItemId(),44353,document.getElementById('newGroupNameTxt').value,0,"folderClosed.gif","folderOpen.gif","folderClosed.gif",'SELECT');
newItem.attrs[name]=value;

I get the following error.
tree._idpull[tree.getSelectedItemId()].attrs has no properties


Please help.

Thanks
