rich:tree client side selection handling

[tw]

I need to handle tree selection change on the client. The onselected method allows me to call a JS function, but it does not provide any context (tree, selected node).

onselected=populateScrollableTableFromCachedData()

How do I access the client side tree / selected node object? I need to know what node was selected.

Also, if I want to use a4j:support to handle selection (because oncomplete is broken), how do I propagate the selected node.


Thanks!

check drag and drop sample in tree page at richfaces-demo. Selection handled there well via ajax.

No , we have no API to handle this on the client.

Just in case someone else is looking to handle selection client-side, I was able to extract the selected node info like this:


function processSelection (tree) {
var str = tree.input.value;
var treeTextNode = document.getElementById(str + ":text").childNodes[0];
// label is treeTextNode.nodeValue
}



<rich:tree
...
onselected="processSelection(this)"
