hi guys,

my question is regarding yui tree menu. im a newbie and trying to take advantage of this rich library. my worry is about removeNode() or how to remove or delete a node on real-time.

i have a code that contains a button and when the user push this button it will create a node on real-time. and my code goes like this:

function addbtn(){
g=prompt('New Node Name: ','');
if(g.length>0){
e=g;
e=new YAHOO.widget.TextNode(g,mytree.getRoot(),false);
mytree.draw();
}
}

i think i'm ok with it, works well for now and does the trick. now if i want to remove that recent node my code goes like this:

function rembtn(){
p=prompt('What Node to remove:','');
if(p.length>0){
mytree.removeNode(eval(p),true);
mytree.draw();
}
}

for instance i added a node "games". now upon removing, if type "games" it will give me an error. but if i type "e", which is the variable name when i created a node from addbtn() it runs successfully. can someone pls tell me the work around for my issue?

tnx

Disclaimer: I've never worked with yui before.
I've noticed two issues with the above code - one a potential pitfall.
First the non-critical: the line e=g; is completely superfluous as you immediately redefine e and proceed to reference g as itself.
Second (and more importantly): I'm not entirely sure why you've opted to evaluate p on the penultimate line of rembtn. I'm not sure if this would cause the behavior you describe, but it'd be where I'd start.
Hope this helps, Tom.
