  • 0

I am using the jstree library. A very nice library but I am stuck with one problem. The callbacks of the contextmenu do not work.

I made a small working example – it should give an alert when you add / remove / rename nodes, but nothing happens..

Does anyone know why not and what is the solution?

You can see the working- not working example online:

    There is no callback property in jstree core functionallity.
    So remove this:

        callback: {
        oncreate: function (NODE, REF_NODE, TYPE, TREE_OBJ, RB) {
            alert('oncreate');
        },
        onrename: function (NODE, LANG, TREE_OBJ, RB) {
            alert('onrename');
        },
        ondelete: function (NODE, TREE_OBJ, RB) {
            alert('ondelete');
        }
    }

    You need to bind jstree events outside the jstree object this way:

    $('#tree').bind('create.jstree',function (node, ref) {
  alert('oncreate');
});

$('#tree').bind('rename.jstree',function (node, ref) {
  alert('onrename');
});

$('#tree').bind('remove.jstree',function (node, ref) {
  alert('ondelete');
});
