How to get parent ID? What is the correct approach?

[mdmings517Participant]

The code below works fine except I can’t figure out how to get the parentID of a node. I even tried assigning the parentID to the value field and that just produces 0 as a result. What is the correct approach?

function createTree($ID) {
if ($ID == undefined){
$ID = 0;
}
$.ajax({
url: ‘json_directories.php’,
success: function (data) {
var source = {datatype: ‘json’,
datafields: [{name: ‘dir_id’ },{name: ‘parent_id’ },{name: ‘name’}],
id: ‘dir_id’,
localdata: data
};
var dataAdapter = new $.jqx.dataAdapter(source);
dataAdapter.dataBind();
var records = dataAdapter.getRecordsHierarchy(‘dir_id’, ‘parent_id’, ‘items’, [{ name: ‘name’, map: ‘label’},{name: ‘dir_id’, map: ‘id’}]);
$(‘#jqxWidget’).jqxTree({ source: records, width: ‘190px’});
$(‘#jqxWidget’).jqxTree(‘selectItem’,$(‘#’+$ID)[0]);

$(‘#jqxTree’).jqxTree({ source: records, width: ‘190px’});
$(“#jqxTree”).jqxTree({ width: 300, height: 220});
$(‘#jqxTree’).jqxTree(‘selectItem’,$(‘#0’)[0]);

},
error: function () {
alert(‘The source is unavailable!’);
}//success
});//ajax
}

Found it!

function getParentID(id){
    var htmlElement = $('#'+id.toString())[0];
    var item = $('#jqxWidget').jqxTree('getItem', htmlElement);
    var parentId = item.parentId;

  return parentId;
}
