I can see why someone would want to "search" for a node with a particular value. That could be the case if the user is staring at a large tree and doesn't know where a particular node is in the tree, but the user knows the "value" of the node (e.g., a part number or someone's name). Is that the question?
If so, I don't think any JS is required. It would just mean that the managed bean taking care of the search would have to be able to traverse the tree and select the node matching the search criterion. (I'm not sure how *that* would work, though; I haven't looked at the latest architecture for the tree.) - Brendan -----Original Message----- From: Sean Schofield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2005 3:54 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Tree2 dynamically selecting and expanding nodes Why on earth would you want to do this? Sounds like a bizarre interface to me. The whole point of a tree is you can navigate easily with a *mouse.* I'm sure its possible but you may need to rewrite signficant portions of tree2 b/c the javascript would be so specialized. sean On 8/10/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Good luck.
