Hi guys,

The debug file really helped.  I can now see what's going wrong so can also asked the right questions.  I'm creating a child node, returning an ID from the server and then try to open the new child node to retrieve info back from the server on that new node. This is what I'm getting...

<data>

       <action type='insert' sid='169' tid='24939'/>

</data>

SID is the node that I'm attaching the child node to and that adds to the DB fine but then here's the problem.  For some reason the add child node repeats itself again and again adding another child but to the newly created node.  The other issue is that the new child node ID is incorrect, how in my code do I specifiy my new child node to have the tid variable as shown above?

The debug script that shows when I click on the new child node shows that I have a uid='1246583992929' and id='1_1246583992929' or something like that as I can't copy and paste from the alert box.  Here's my code that calls the add child node which is new_next_node which is on an onClick event in the tree...

 <script>
   tree=new dhtmlXTreeObject("treeboxbox_tree","100%","100%",0);
   tree.setImagePath("code/dhtmlxTree/codebase/imgs/csh_vista/");
   tree.enableSmartXMLParsing(true);     //enable smart parsing   
   tree.setXMLAutoLoading("portal/organisation/tree.asp");
   tree.setDataMode("json");
   //load first level of tree
   tree.loadJSON("portal/organisation/tree.asp?id=0");
   myDataProcessor = new dataProcessor("portal/organisation/insert_node.asp");
   myDataProcessor.init(tree);
   function new_next_node(tree_node)
   {
    tree.insertNewChild(tree_node,0,"New location",0,0,0,0,"SELECT,CALL,TOP,CHILD");
   }
 </script>

Thanks for your help!

Hello, 

could you, please, provide the direct link to the page with problem?  (you also can send this information to support@dhtmlx.com) 

OK great, how do I pull back the new ID that is created in the XML that is generated from the below code

<data>

       <action type='insert' sid='169' tid='24939'/>

</data>

I thought that the below code would be wrong but as I couldn't find any documentation on how to return my new ID I assumed it automatically replace the 0 value.  The new ID is generated after I have fired my new_next_node().  Are you saying I should generate my ID then fire my function?

tree.insertNewChild(tree_node,0,"New location",0,0,0,0,"SELECT,CALL,TOP,CHILD");

Unfortunately this is on a local intranet so I cannot get you access to the pages.

Just to clarify...

1). I click on 'add location' in my tree which then adds a child node to the parent ID

2). This generates my <data> XML and calls a stored procedure which return the tid (the new location's ID from my DB)

I thought at that point the tree would use the tid in the XML generated to replace the 0 ID that I fired originally.

Please, check that xml returns the desired values. For example if you add the following node tree.insertNewChild(parent_id,'temp_id','New item');

The xml must be:

<data>
 <action type='insert' sid='temp_id' tid='some_new_id'/>
</data>

Locally this approach correctly works. So, if the problem still persists, please provide the direct link to the problematic page. 

Just to clarify then.  My code which is

tree.insertNewChild(tree_node,0,"New location",0,0,0,0,"SELECT,CALL,TOP,CHILD");

should actually read

tree_node = 169    which is returned from my JS function 

tree.insertNewChild(tree_node,'temp_id',"New location",0,0,0,0,"SELECT,TOP,CHILD");

Right I must be missing something obvious because I tried it and it carried through id=temp_id and never replace it with the tid from the XML which was 24657 or somthing like that.  I've uploaded to my production server now so please have a look - much appreciated.  I've put the debug on.

Hello, 

Probably there is the following issue in your server-side script:

The dataprocessor sends, for example, following parameters:

!nativeeditor_status =inserted
tr_id =temp_id
tr_order=0
tr_pid=169
tr_text=New location

But the server-side script returns: <action type='insert' sid='169' tid='24970'/>

The correct behaviour <action type='insert' sid='temp_id' tid='24970'/>

sid is the tr_id parameter (not tr_pid parent id)
