Custom Attribute "Target" for Treeview

[Alex]

I have a web service based treeview set up and basically what I'm aiming to do is give the node a target. The set up is that this treeview is in a left frame, and the nodes are images that will be loaded in the right hand frame. I'm running this through a web service and the RadTreeNodeData class doesn't have the "Target" attribute like the RadTreeNode variable does. Is there a way to have a target on the nodes? I've given my code below and after searching around, it's all that I've found. Let me know if I'm doing something incorrectly, thanks


<telerik:RadTreeView EnableViewState="true" ID="treeImages" runat="server"

 DataFieldID="Id" DataFieldParentID="ParentId" DataTextField="Text"

 DataValueField="Value" DataNavigateUrlField="NavigateURL" OnClientNodeDataBound="OnClientNodeDataBoundHandler">

  <WebServiceSettings Path="FolderTree.aspx" Method="LoadPromotionNodes" />

    <DataBindings>

      <telerik:RadTreeNodeBinding Expanded="false" />

    </DataBindings>

</telerik:RadTreeView>

for (int row = 0; row < rowMax; row++)
{
    returnNode.Text = _returnArray[row, 0];
    returnNode.Value = _returnArray[row, 1];
    returnNode.Attributes["Target"] = "fraRightFrame";
    returnNode.ExpandMode = TreeNodeExpandMode.WebService;
    returnNode.NavigateUrl = "images.aspx?loc=" + _returnArray[row, 1];
    result.Add(returnNode);
}
return result.ToArray();

<script type="text/javascript">
    function OnClientNodeDataBoundHandler(sender, e) {
        var node = e.get_node();
        var target = node.get_attributes().getAttribute("Target");
        node.get_attributes().setAttribute("Target", target);
    }
</script>

Hi Alex,

Well, using a WebService, this should be it.
Actually, you don't mention if the code below is working for you. Could you, please, specify that? And if it's not working - what exactly seems to be the problem?

Hope that soon your problem will be resolved!

It's actually not working, and through a bunch of research that I've done it's the way to do it. I alert the attribute and it pops up correctly with the "target", in this case a frame, but it still shows in the frame that the treeview is in. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

I solved it by using the set_target() variable as shown below. I didn't find it until I looked at an older class list for the rad tree node.

function OnClientNodeDataBoundHandler(sender, e) {
    var node = e.get_node();
    var target = node.get_attributes().getAttribute("Target");
    node.set_target(target);
}
