Hi



I have the following, and this works… However when i change index in the combo box the next xml is appended to the end of the existing tree.



How would I tell this to replace the existing tree with the new one.



Thanks



Simon

Hello,


in order to reload tree you can use the following method:


tree.deleteChildItems(0);


tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value);


Try to use it instead of


tree=new dhtmlXTreeObject(“treeboxbox_tree”,“100%”,“100%”,0);
tree.setImagePath(“js/imgs/csh_bluebooks/”);
tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value);

Hi I just tried this

however this removes all child items and leaves the root.

The initial function is good but on change of selected index i would like to dispose the previous and load the new xml in its place?

Thanks

In this case you can use just (without removing previous items):


tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value);

Hi Alex thanks for the help

I am not sure I understand "

tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value);"


Is this not what I already have? I am very new at this, I load the tree all good. But when I change selected index I wish the tree to be rebuilt with the new items and not add to the existing tree as if called for the 1st time.

Ok…


tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value); loads items from the xml. This method will add new items to the existent structure.


If you want to rebuild tree, you can call tree.deleteChildItems(0); before loadXML to delete previous structure.


If you want to initialize tree again, you can call desctructor() and then tree initialization code:


tree.destructor();


tree=new dhtmlXTreeObject(“treeboxbox_tree”,“100%”,“100%”,0);
tree.setImagePath(“js/imgs/csh_bluebooks/”);
tree.loadXML(“js/”+selected_value);
