Re: correct way to get the node name

The "id" of the node, usually set first in the XML, is available at m.top.id.  

If you mean the "type", such as RowList, ButtonGroup, use m.top.subtype()

Re: correct way to get the node name

Thanks, I should've updated this question as I'd already worked this out 🙂

Thanks for responding though.
