jsTree - Setting href attributes in Json data - json

Question

Im trying to create a 'jsTree' treeview that gets it's data from a .Net webservice.
Everything is working, except for the a-node's href attribute. Whatever I try, it always renders as '#'.
As I understand from the documentation, all attributes in any data object get copied to the a-node.
Below is an example of my current json object. Can anyway figure out why the href attribute isn't copied to the nodes?
[ { "attributes" : { "id" : "rootnode_2",
"rel" : "root2"
},
"children" : [ { "attributes" : { "id" : "childnode_9",
"rel" : "folder"
},
"children" : [ { "attributes" : { "id" : "childnode_23",
"rel" : "folder"
},
"children" : null,
"data" : { "href" : "http://www.google.com",
"title" : "Test_Below_1"
},
"state" : null
} ],
"data" : { "href" : "http://www.google.com",
"title" : "Test_1"
},
"state" : null
},
{ "attributes" : { "id" : "childnode_10",
"rel" : "folder"
},
"children" : [ { "attributes" : { "id" : "childnode_24",
"rel" : "folder"
},
"children" : null,
"data" : { "href" : "http://www.google.com",
"title" : "Test_Below_2"
},
"state" : null
} ],
"data" : { "href" : "http://www.google.com",
"title" : "Test_2"
},
"state" : null
}
],
"data" : { "href" : "http://www.google.com",
"title" : "Glatt"
},
"state" : "closed"
} ]
This is how I initialize the tree;
$("#jstreejson").jstree({
json_data : {
"data": treeObject
},
themes: {
"theme": "apple",
"dots": true,
"icons": true,
"url": "/Scripts/themes/apple/style.css"
},
plugins: ['core', 'themes', 'json', "json_data"]
});

So... I'm not sure that's entirely correct. You can't control the anchor attributes as far as I know, but what you can do add stuff to the attr hash in the json and then use the select_node.jstree event to open the desired link, i.e:
.bind("select_node.jstree", function (e,data) {
var href_address = data.rslt.obj.attr("whatever");
// open desired link
}
