dhtmlxTree openItem()

Hello,

I have a tree that takes a while to load with loadXML (about 400 folders loaded from database). I try to use tree.openItem(1) to open the root node after initializing the tree. The problem is that the tree does not get displayed for about 4-5 seconds, so the openItem is firing to quickly and has no effect.

I do not see a way to tell the tree to open the first node in XM tagL..Is this possible?

You can use open="1" item's attribute to open necessary branch:
<item text="Dan Brown" open="1" id="db" im0="books_close.gif" im1="books_open.gif" im2="books_close.gif">

Thank you. 

I now see it listed in the "Advanced" xml view in the help for dhtmlx component structure.  I was looking in the "Plain View (html)" and it is not listed there.
