I'm working with asp.net and I have a eo treeview on my page... I use the following javascript to identify the node, or selected item... but I need to get its parent node text... I haven't been able to figure this out... racking my brain. Please help:

function treeview_itemclick_handler(e, eventInfo) {
var thisLocationID = document.getElementById("txtLocationID")
var thisCustno = document.getElementById("txtCustno")

thisLocationID.value = eventInfo.getItem().getText()
-> thisCustno.value= ????????????? s/b something like: eventInfo.getParent().getText() <-

}

nodes work like this: Custno-LocationID... the "eventInfo.getItem().getText()
" seems to identify the selected node... but how do I get its (the location's) parent text (custno)

-rb

Hi,

eventInfo.getItem() returns a client side TreeNode object:

Once you have the TreeNode object, you can call this function to get its parent group:

http://www.essentialobjects.com/ViewDoc.aspx?t=JSDoc.Public.NavigationItem.getParentGroup.html

From parent group you can then get the parent item:

http://www.essentialobjects.com/ViewDoc.aspx?t=JSDoc.Public.NavigationItemGroup.getParentItem.html

So the final code would be eventInfo.getItem().getParentGroup().getParentItem(). Except for the two step process, the other tricky part is TreeNode derives from NavigationItem. So you can use all the methods that are available on NavigationItem.

Thanks
