I cannot see how to access that information. I know the DBF file is being used as if I delete that file the shapefile will not render as it has no symbol information. Despite this, I cannot see when debugging the provided example how to access this information.</P><P style="margin: 0 0 1em; font-size: 14px; color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-color: rgba(248, 248, 248, 0.6);">Obviously I could simply open the .dbf file manually but that seems awfully clunky.
