sorry, didn't realize how badly the formatting was! Let me try again. We ran into a problem when trying to set up a refresh button on an async treeview implementation. Our tree contents will be changing all the time. Basically, we need to know how to blow away the contents of the UL and then re-insert them. What's happening is that on each click of the refresh we're getting an additional set of hitarea divs.
For the refresh button click, currently we're using $('#openExistingTree').empty(); then to re-initialize: $('#openExistingTree').treeview({ url: "CalcBldrOpenExisting.ashx" }); after the initial load, the markup looks fine. After clicking 'refresh' once, it looks like this (note duplicate divs): <ul class="treeList treeview" id="openExistingTree"> <li class="expandable" id="3"> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea"></ div> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea"></ div> <span></span> <ul></ul> </li> <li class="expandable" id="4"> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea"></ div> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea"></ div> <span></span> <ul></ul> </li> <li class="hasChildren expandable lastExpandable" id="5"> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea lastExpandable-hitarea"></div> <div class="hitarea hasChildren-hitarea expandable-hitarea"></ div> <span></span> <ul></ul> </li> </ul> Additional notes from our developer: The initial json returned is: "[{'text': 'Private Drafts','id': 3, 'hasChildren': true},{'text': 'Shared Drafts','id': 4, 'hasChildren': true},{'text': 'Published Calculations','id': 5, 'hasChildren': true}]" Then, when the user clicks on ‘Private Drafts’, I return the following: "[{ 'text': '<a class=\"openExisting\" title=\"Matthews test calc\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" elemName=\"Matthews test calc\" onclick= \"Apx.CalcBuilder.openCalc(this, 1);\">Matthews test calc</a> <br/ ><span class=\"resolution\">Hour, Location, Participant</span>'}]" After clearing the tree list, I reinitialize and the returned json is IDENTICAL to that shown above, but the treeview jquery code does not interpret it the same way. -------------- Any help would be appreciated!
