[Solved] TreeView JavaScript Parent Node of Selected Item

[Steve]

Good afternoon,

    I have what I believe to be a simple question regarding client-side events with the MVC TreeView control. What I am trying to determine is the parent node of a selected node. For example. Suppose this TreeView:

 - RootNode
      - ChildNode1
      - ChildNode2

If ChildNode1 was selected, I want to be able to get RootNode in the JavaScript. I know that I can do...

var treeview = $('#trOfferings').data('tTreeView');
var nodeText = treeview.getItemText(e.item);

to determine ChildNode1, but there does not appear to be any function or method in order to determine the parent node. Is there some way of doing this client-side? Thank you for your time.

You need to get the parent node with jQuery, using the e.item as a reference.

var parentNodeText = treeview.getItemText($(e.item).parent().closest(".t-item")); 

Kind regards,
