Checkbox Tree - Javascript?


dpt

Recommended Posts

I started learning HTML a couple weeks ago and Javascript last night, so bear with me.

 

My goal:

I want to build a checkbox tree in a form. The tree will have a few levels--let's say Country, State, and City. I can do this easily with nested lists in HTML, but want a few snazzy features:

a) I want to be able to expand or collapse each section of the tree. If I click "United States", I get a list of states. If I then click "Alabama" I get a list of cities in Alabama. (My current code does this, but I want to get rid of the bullets from the list formatting.)

B) Each country/state/city will have a checkbox by it. When I check/uncheck the "Alabama" box, I want it to automatically check/uncheck all of the boxes for Alabama cities--the boxes on that "branch". (I can't figure out how to do this. In fact, I can't figure out how to put checkboxes on any but the bottom/city level.)

c) I want the default setting (when first loaded) to be that the tree is collapsed. Right now, my code makes the default setting and expanded tree.

 

Below is the code I have thus far. Am I on the right track? What functions do I need or where can I find examples of correct checkbox tree code? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
