COOLjsTree Expanded Menu question.

[John]

Hi your script works great but i want to know how do i stop the script expanding the 1st node when it loads up ?
?

[Guest]

Doesn't matter i fixed it
It was the:
tree.expandNode(0);
tree.expandNode(1);
I had in my webpage

How would I set it such that it woudl expand different nodes on different pages ... basically so that when we go into a particular node html page, on that page the menu rebuilds with the appropriate tree-expandnode expanded.

The default whihc works is to expand node(0) and no other node works.

Thanks,
Vinay.

Here you can read about nodeByName() and similar functions - http://javascript.cooldev.com/testdoc/tree/#sIV3. You can use it like this:

I've been trying to get it to work with

tree.expandNode(1);

However, it refuses to open any node with the "(1)" !

Maybe there is an error in my cool_tree_nodes.js file ... this is how that is made up...

var db = document.all ? '<div style="width:133px">&' : '&&&';
var de = document.all ? '</div>' : '&&&';
var f0 = db+'Home'+de;

var COOL_NODES = [

['<img src="menu/n1.gif" width=145 height=17 border=0>', "", "",
[db+"Overview"+de, "aboutus.html", ""],
[db+"Management"+de, "aboutus-management.html", ""],
[db+"Culture"+de, "aboutus-culture.html", ""],
[db+"Investors"+de, "aboutus-investors.html", ""],
[db+"Careers"+de, "aboutus-careers.html", ""],
],

['<img src="menu/n2.gif" width=145 height=17 border=0>', "", "",
[db+"Overview"+de, "products.html", ""],
[db+"netDeFlect"+de, "products-netdeflect.html", "Display"],
[db+"netDetect"+de, "products-netdetect.html", "Display"],
],

Please do advise. The rest all works so well, it's too cool.

Vinay.

I've seen the same question posted a few times, and I have the same one -- How can I open a page and have a specific node expanded?

Example Tree on Page 1:

Node 1
Child Node 1
Child Node 2
Node 2

On page 1, the user opens Node 1 to reveal 2 child nodes. When the user clicks Child Node 1, it links to page 2.
I want Node 1 to remain expanded on page 2, so it still reveals the child nodes in it.

I've seen a script you posted, but I have more questions. The script I saw was:

var node = tree.nodeByName("Some node caption");
tree.collapseAll();
if (node) tree.expandNode(node.index)
while (node != null && node.parentNode != tree.rootNode) {
if (!node.expanded)
tree.expandNode(node.index);
node = node.parentNode;
}
Is this the right code to use?
If so, in what file does it appear?
Can you send me the script with the names I used in my example?
