get an array of all a products attributes in magento

Question

I cannot figure this out!

I am trying to get a list of a products attributes into an array on the list.phtml page. I have tried everything. I have seen a lot of solution

I'm guessing you need a list of only visible values. I say "values" because attributes are not the actual values, they are descriptors. The following is the salient parts from Mage_Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Attributes:

$attributes = $product->getAttributes();
foreach ($attributes as $attribute) {
    if ($attribute->getIsVisibleOnFront()) {
        $value = $attribute->getFrontend()->getValue($product);
        // do something with $value here
    }
}

You don't really need to duplicate this though since you can alter/use the template catalog/product/view/attributes.phtml which is already declared on the product view page as attributes block.
