Looks good, I’m wondering how you would configure the page so that nodes can be expanded and show previously checked options. For example if it were used on an update page where the user can view and edit their previous choices?

By default the nodes always appear collapsed and unchecked onload?

Thanks

Sorry, the examples above didn’t turn out well.
Let me try again.

Instead of

- Fun Province (level 1)
– Fun City (level 2)
– Not Fun City (level 2)

JJG’s plugin displays it like:

- Fun Province (level 1)
– Fun City (level 2)
— Not Fun City (level 3)

Thanks

Thanks, this is a fabulous plugin!
Saved me alot of time.

JJG’s plugin is handy too, but from the example provided it seems his plugin layout child nodes in a cascading fashion rather than vertically.?

That is, instead of
- Fun Province
– Fun City
– Not Fun City

it is displayed in:

- Fun Province
– Fun City
– Not Fun City

Now a quick question, I suppose the RESET button inside a form is not suppose to work for this plugin?

Thanks
An Chi

Hi Matt,

I made some improvements to the code to do some of the things people were requesting in these posts. You can see the project at http://static.geewax.org/checktree/index.html

I am also new to jQuery so there’s plenty of comments in the code to see what’s been changed. I also gave a link back to this page as it was the inspiration for the project.

Awesome plugin. Looks good too
One suggestion on the checkchildren feature. Say you start with a two-level empty tree. /-/– Select a single node and it’s parent will be automatically selected. Thats cool. Now there are two items selected: the parent and its child node. If you de-select that same child node, it wont automatically de-select the parent, like i would expect it to. If you de-select a node and there aren’t any more selected nodes under its parent, then the parent node should also de-select.

Hope that makes sense…
