Getting the selected tag

[meskenParticipant]

I know it is possible to get the item label selected on a tree. But my problem is that I want to get the tag in which the label is found. How can I do this ? In fact I want to get the value of the id attribute of the tag related to the selected Item.
All I want is to have the tag, once I have it, I can use the attr property to get the id value

Thanks

To get the ID of the tag, use the Item’s Id.

var id = item.id

For example:

$('#jqxTree').bind('select', function (event) {
    var args = event.args;
    var item = $('#jqxTree').jqxTree('getItem', args.element);
    var id = item.id;
});

OK thank you. But I have another case. I am adding element to the tree programatically with the the addTo function
if (selectedItem != null) {
var menuName=$("#category").val();
$('#jqxTree').jqxTree('addTo', { label: menuName }, selectedItem.element);
}

Can I set the Id of the tag where the element is being added ? For instance like the code above, I just added menuName , I want to set the Id of the corresponding tag also (e.g id=’newMenu’) when the menu element is being added, is it possible

In jQWidgets 2.0, the addTo method does not allow dynamically setting of the new element’s ID. We’ll consider adding an ‘id’ option in the next version.

Thanks for the feedback.

Shouldn’t the getItem Method be in the documentation? It only has the getItems in there, thanx!

Thanks! It should be in the documentation and we’ll update it as soon as possible.
