I am evaluting COOLjsTree and have a few questions

[mbeede]

I am evaluting this tree menu for use in a website I am creating and had a few quick questions (I only have the basic-free version at this time):

1. This is a J2EE based website so I would be populating the tree menu dynamically using information stored in Beans (from the relational DB - in this case Informix). In order to build the tree it looks like I have to build a giant "var TREE1_NODES" string with all the information. Is there an easier, more object-oriented way to create the tree (i.e. create a tree object, call methods to populate the tree branches/nodes, that can be called from JavaScript. The "var" method seems pretty ugly to work with for a commercial site.

2. After the tree is created and displayed on screen can I dynamically add new branches and nodes it? I have seen posts on this forum that seem to indicate both Yes and No. If so, how do I go about doing that?

Thanks In Advance!

To reword Question #1: If I purchase the Pro version of the tree menu, does it provide a cleaner way to create and build the menu other than using the TREE1_NODES string? I was expecting something more like a java class so you could create a treemenu object, populate it via method calls, etc.

Any help would be most appreciated!

1. Sorry, we do not support server side Java at all.
2. Current version will not allow you to do this.
