Highlight tree in cooltree.js

[Yves-Alain.Nicollet]

I have a documentation library that is displayed as follows:
- a title frame at the top
- a tree frame on the left, managed using cooltree.js (standard
version) 2.8.7
- a doc frame on the right

When I click a link in the doc frame and when the new document finishes
loading, I would like the corresponding node in the tree to open and
be highilighted.

Does someone out there know how to achieve this?

Thanks.

It would be more appropriate to ask your question in a cooltree.js
support forum. What you want to do can likely be done fairly easily in
the Professional version, it may take considerable effort in the
standard version as it's obfuscated and minified and has a less capable
API.

The API documentation is here:

Cooltree.js doesn't appear to have any fall-back for unscripted[1]
browsers - those users won't see any navigation at all. The usual trick
for collapsible menus is to create them as an unordered list and use
script to collapse them, that way unscripted browser users at least see
the expanded menu structure and can navigate through the site.


1. Where un-scripted means with javascript unsupported or disabled or
with an implementation that is incompatible with Cooltree.js.
