Hello,

myTree = new dhtmlXTreeObject(“treeboxbox_tree0”,“100%”,“100%”,0);
myTree.setImagePath(“…/…/…/codebase/imgs/dhxtree_skyblue/”);
myTree.load(“…/common/tree.xml”);
myTree.attachEvent(“onOpenStart”, function(id,state) {
myTree.deleteChildItems(0); //call this method getting error ‘TypeError: c.htmlNode is null’ in firebug
myTree.load(“…/common/tree.xml”);
return true;
})

using FF.

Hello,

The code you posted is rather weird. The error is caused by deleteChildItems call from the onOpenStart. Could you describe your idea ?

Alexandra thank you for your replay.
The point is :

When the openstart firing, i want mytree to refresh and load, may be by calling deletechilditems is the wrong way, could you show me the other way?

Thanks

You can choose onOpenEnd instead. And probably you will need to restore open state (saveOpenStates and loadOpenStates - pro edition):

ignore = false;
tree.attachEvent(“onOpenEnd”, function(id,state) {
if(!ignore){
tree.saveOpenStates();
tree.deleteChildItems(0);
ignore = true;
tree.loadXML("…/common/tree.xml", function(){
tree.loadOpenStates();
ignore = false;
});
}
return true;
});

Thank’s Alexandra,

one more question, how to sort the childs of a node tree that is just added a child using insertNewChild. I tried calling sortTree but the new item added as a child is always created as the last one of child items for the specified parent.

Best regards,

Cemang.

Hello,

Did you call sortTree after insertNewChild ? There is also insertNewChild that allows to insert an item after another item.

#7

Yes, i called sortTree after insertNewChild

Yes, i called sortTree after insertNewChild

Locally tree is correctly sorted. Could you provide a snippet that reproduces the problem ?
