 |
|
Hi,
I'm updating my tree with the nodeByID(id) method. This doesn't work anymore with 2.4.3.
Your new API says nodeByID(id) must be used like this:
[<u>{id:123}</u>, 'Caption', 'Url.html', ...],
What is the <u>- tag for? When I use this tag as in the example, my tree isn't drawn at all.
Also, if I go back to using 2.3.1 my nodes without children don't display.
What can I do?

lili, did you try it without the <u> tag? So just:
| Code: | | [{id:123}, 'Caption', 'Url.html', null] |
I use nodeById with version 2.4.3 and it works ok, without the <u> tag |

Hi Torquemada (real name?  )
I'm using this patch to sychronize my tree in the leftFrame with the page in the mainFrame when the page is opened from a link outside the tree:
leftFrame contains:
window.$tree = tree;
window.updateTree = function (id) {
var tree;
tree = window.$tree;
var node = tree.nodeByID(id);
tree.collapseAll();
if (!node)
return;
tree.expandNode(node.index)
while (node != null && node.parentNode != tree.rootNode){
if (!node.expanded)
tree.expandNode(node.index);
node = node.parentNode;
}
}
}
RedrawAllTrees();
and mainFrame contains:
<body onload="if (top && top.frames && top.frames.leftFrame && top.frames.leftFrame.updateTree) top.frames.leftFrame.updateTree(37)">
It works perfectly if I use script version 2.3.1, but if I change to script version 2.4.3 it won't work anymore (I've changed nothing else).
I must admit that I can't figure out why and I was assuming nodeById() wasn't working. Can you help me figure out which part of my patch won't work with the new tree version?
Many thanks,
lili |

I have this same problem.
Using the syntax without the <u></u>, nodeByID returns nill (as shown in the firefox venkman javascript debugger.)
Using the syntax the docs specify results in the entire tree being nill.
Here is the code I need to work. This is supposed to ensure the path to a given page is alway evident to the user no matter how we got to the page:
| Code: |
<script type="text/javascript">
function expandToNode(tree,id){
var node= tree.nodeByID(id);
tree.selectNode(node.index);
while( node.level() > 0 ){
node= node.parentNode;
if( node.expanded == false )
tree.expandNode(node.index,false,false);
}
}
RedrawAllTrees()
expandToNode(tree,1);
</script>

RedrawAllTrees is in the pro version.
In fact, this thread is discussing the 2.4.3 preview which comes with different docs than those on
http://javascript.cooldev.com/doc/tree/ |

You'll have to compare features and make that decision for yourself.
So far, the nodeByID problem prevents me from being able to use the 2.4.3 version while the shipping version, 2.3.1, doesn't work properly with Safari or Firefox (search for DOCTYPE on this forum) |

I could not solve the problem I posted here with 2.4.3 so I have gone back to using 2.3.1 which works well for me - also in Safari and Fireworks.
I wanted to use 2.4.3 because I want my folder images to be clickable. I had clickable folder images when I was using the free version, but I lost this functionality when I upgraded to 2.3.1 (which I'm using because of it's ability to highlight the text of a selected node).
All in all 2.4.3 seems too buggy right now.

lili, check out the new version 2.4.6:
"2.4.6: dynamic API - initial model: recreate, setCaption, addNode, deleteNode; new method - node.ensureVisible: expands all ancestors of particular node; all nodeBy functions are fixed now"

| 2.4.3 had problems with nodeBy* methods. These problems were fixed in 2.4.6. |
