storing tree element in jQuery

Question

I have developed a tree menu using jQuery api. But all my tree elements are hard coded. I want to store the tree elements in a data structure and create the tree dynamically. Does jQuery has any data structure like linked list or sth or do I have to code my own data structure ?

Answer 1

See:

• Use jQuery's data() method to store data in the DOM

Answer 2

You can use javascript methods, don't forget, that jQuery is just a JS extension.

Here are manuals on javascript data structures:

• http://www.datajett.com/Tuts/JScriptGen/javascriptDataStructs.pdf

• http://eloquentjavascript.net/chapter4.html

  var cat = {colour: "grey", name: "Spot", size: 46}; cat.size = 47; show(cat.size); delete cat.size; show(cat.size); show(cat);
