$find on a TreeView returns null.

[David]

I'm trying to set some tree nodes from the client side once the page loads using the code below:

var tree = $find(clientId);
var allTreeNodes = tree.get_allNodes();

However I get the error below when I try to run it in $(document).ready or $(window).ready.

Microsoft JScript runtime error: Unable to get value of the property 'get_allNodes': object is null or undefined.

So basically it doesn't find the tree.  I tested it with jQuery using $("#" + clientId).length and it returns 1 so it exists.

The only time it works is in the pageLoad() which I think is an asp.net ajax method.   Can someone explain why this is the case?

Thanks, Dave.

Hello Dave,

The document ready state is a little bit early in the page life cycle and the client objects are not yet initialized. Therefore the safest way would be to use the pageLoad event when the RadTreeView client-side object is initialized and ready to be accessed and used.
