Hi,

is there anyway i can get a left and top position of any particular treenode using javascript?

var selnode=TreeView1.getTreeNode(TreeView1.selectedNo deIndex);
alert(selnode.getAttribute("__Top"));
alert(selnode.getAttribute("__Left"));

something like that...but that doesn;t work...

thank you.

If anything, you would want to access the style attribute, that would have a left: and top: identifier.

no style attribute did not work..style attribute returns null

is there anyway i can get a left and top position of any particular treenode using javascript?

var selnode=TreeView1.getTreeNode(TreeView1.selectedNo deIndex);
alert(selnode.getAttribute("__Top"));
alert(selnode.getAttribute("__Left"));

something like that...but that doesn;t work...

i know about the mouse click position...

so it's not exactly the clicked node position it's rather the mouse click position..

say there is

Node 1(Expanded)
  |___
  |___
Node 2(CollapseD)

now when user clicks node2 i can get the position using window.event.clientX....but when node2 is expanded and node1 is collapsed...

so node 2 moves up

Node1
Node2
  |__
  |__

so node2 moves up...so the position i got using window.event.clientX is no more the position where node 2 is...

thank you.

i am trying using

TreeView1.getTreeNode(TreeView1.selectedNodeIndex) .getAttribute("offsetTop"); but tha actually yields 0;

Hey,

Did you try:

alert(selnode.getAttribute("top"));
alert(selnode.getAttribute("left"));

Or maybe:

alert(selnode.getAttribute("style"));

Brian

yep brain i have tried all that...seems like if i set the style property for every node then it would give me style what i set...but it doesn't really matter since i can never set left and top even though i did..it's going to neglect it since it can't guarentee node will be placed there...

seems like all this would work in HTML javascript Tree it would work but since this is ASP.net it wouldn't..for some reason..

Thanks for trying though.

If it works with an HTML javascript Tree, you could create your own .NET control that renders the tree out and create your own functions to interface with it. Of course, interfacing with nodes will cause a postback.

Also, I don't think I established this... Are you using the Microsoft Web controls version of the treeview, or an HTML one with runat="server"?

Lastly, to try to get the properties with javascript, could you copy/paste into a reply the HTML markup for the treeview?

Are you using the Microsoft Web controls version of the treeview, or an HTML one with runat="server"?

I am using Microsoft Web Controls version of TreeView...

..how do i use the HTML one i with runat="server".

Thanks for your help.

I was asking, because you said it worked with the HTML javascript tree. I never heard of that.

Brian

oh ok well...i guess HTML Tree is some javascript code ..i mean there is actually no control...

hmm thanks anyways.
