Background colors for nodes

[JasonVU]

Is there a way to make the background color for nodes span the entire width of the menu instead of just over the text part of the node? Thanks for any help!

Yes, there is some way.
Let's assume that your tree has "Tree1" name (i.e. it was created with the followin initialization string: "new COOLjsTree('Tree1', ...)"). If it is so, then you can define CSS classes in the form "cls<Tree Name>_back<Level Number>". These classes will be applied to individual items (one item is one separate table) of the specified level. E.g.:

I've been trying to apply the background colors for nodes as you've shown us here, but I'm having zero luck.

1. I'm not using the proversion of cooltrees
2. I put this in my stylesheet:
.clsTree1_back1 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: red;
}

.clsTree1_back0 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: blue;
}

.clsTree1_back2 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: green;
}
3.My tree is called: Tree1
4. the Tree works fine and dandy but I can't change bgcolors.
5.tree1_format.js has this for item #11 but I also got rid of this and it didn't work:
//11. styles for each level of menu (default style will be used for undefined levels)
[clsTree1_back1,clsTree1_back0,clsTree1_back2],

Any ideas?

I've tested that sample before posting - things were fine...
What is the version of your cooltree.js? Can you quote your initialization sequence (new COOLjsTree...)?

// Title: COOLjsTree
// Version: 1.4.0.


<script language="JavaScript">
var treeName = "Tree1";
new COOLjsTree (treeName, TREE1_NODES, TREE1_FORMAT);
</script>

I'm still scratching my head. oh, I'm using this in a frameset.

Thanks,

Also, will the pro version of cooltree allow me to make it cosmetically look like the image I've linked to? My client will accept nothing less. errrg.

Thanks,

Regarding background colors. Sorry, but it just works. Can you send your files zipped to jssupport@cooldev.com?

Regarding your tree sample. In this particular case Pro will not work better than non-Pro (tech.support team can help you setting this sample up: contact alx@cooldev.com - me - or galchenok@cooldev.com). But make sure that you really don't need other features of Pro.

I guess I'm missing something. I just downloaded a fresh copy of all the files from:
http://javascript.cooldev.com/testdoc/tree/samples/cooljstree.zip

I added a fresh copy of the cooltree.js file to this folder. The Tree works perfectly. If I add the following classes to the stylesheet, I get no change in background color and nothing else appears to be affected in the tree.

.clsTree1_back1 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: #FFFF00;
}

.clsTree1_back0 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: blue;
}

.clsTree1_back2 {
   width: 120px;
   background-color: green;
}

I've put this up on my personal website for testing purposes.

Sorry to be a pain.

For whatever strange and bizarre reason, I've gotten the background colors to work on the cooltree. I started from scratch yet again, and don't think I did anything differently, but I must have had a bug somewhere.

Now that I have things working, is there a way I can alternate row colors on clsTree_back2 (level three)?

thanks,

Regarding misterious things that happen. Probably, some cache - browser's or some intermediate proxy...

Reagarding color alteration. Sorry, can't understand: all previous posts in this topic were about this. Probably I don't get something... Please explain me.
