I have a tree as outlined below that executes an ajax operation each time a node is selected. When the page loads I use javascript to expand the entire tree. The first time I select one of the nodes it will collapse itself, but subsequent calls work fine. My initial guess is that maybe the way in which I expand the nodes via javascript leaves the tree event listeners in an unexpected state. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 <script type="text/javascript">
 //<![CDATA[

 {
 $(window).onload = function(){
 expandAll();
 };
 }
 function expandAll(){
 var tree = window['Richfaces_Tree_createOrderForm_question_tree'];
 var childs = tree.childs;
 expand(childs);
 }

 function expand(childs) {
 for (var i = 0; i < childs.length; i++) {
 var element = childs;
 var cc = element.childs;
 if (cc!=null && cc.length != 0) {
 if (element.isCollapsed){
 //element.eventCollapsionClick();
 element.expand();
 expand(cc);
 }
 }
 }
 }
 //]]>
 </script>
