How to get Dynatree's parent node details

Question

Is there any way to find dynatree's root node details? Supposed tree has 5 level and i selected fifth level's node . I want to get selected nodes and its parents details till root. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

The visitParents function on the node should do what you want:

node.visitParents(function (node) { 
    // do stuff with node
}, true);

Passing true as the second parameter includes the node as well as it's parents.

Answer 2

Try below method:

node.getKeyPath()

It should return string of keys from leaf to root node like below

/_3/_23/_26/_27

You should be then able to retrieve the any node details of that branch by parsing above string

var node = $("#tree").dynatree("getTree").getNodeByKey("3")

This might not be the exact solution but should give you the direction to get to your solution.

Answer 3

var parent = node.getParent();
var parentnode = parent.data.key;

In parentnode you will get the value of parent node.
