[Solved] Treeview parent node

[Eugene]

Greetings,
    How can one get the value of the parent node of a node.  I tried the following:

$(e.item.parentNode).find(

':input[name*="Value"]').val();  This gives me the same value as

 

$(e.item).closest(

'.t-item').find(':input[name*="Value"]').val();

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

closest  method looks first in the current html element, which in this case is the TreeView item. Thus you will never find the parent. To achieve your goal you need to combine your two samples :)

$(e.item.parentNode).closest('.t-item').find(':input[name*="Value"]').val();

Regards,
Peter

Hello Peter,
    Your answer, although looking good on paper, unfortunately did not produce the expected results.  Whereas the code snippet

var

 

nodeSelected = $(e.item).closest('.t-item').find(':input[name*="Value"]').val(); gives me the selected node, the code snippet

 

var

 

parentID = $(e.item.parentNode).closest('.t-item').find(':input[name*="Value"]').val(); produces the same ID number, as demonstrated by alert(nodeSelected + " " + parentID).  The code to find the parent's node ID was cut and pasted from your sample in your last reply.

 

Thanks for your prompt reply and hope you have a better answer,
Eugene

Hello Eugene,

Try the following:
    $(e.item).closest('.t-item').parent().closest('.t-item').find('> div :input[name*="Value"]').val();

Hello Alex,
    OK.  Your solution worked except that the characters "> div " needed to be removed.
    
Thanks,
