That's funny ... there is a bug in the tear menu window "get attribute" method
It's supposed to return the name of the menu for "targetcontent"
but the instead it returns it if the name of the attribute is anything
except targetcontent.
so you could probably go GetAttributeValue("Luc-Eric") and it would work anyway.
my apologies
