Click on jstree node, rebuild tree with that node as the root

I think the subject is reasonably clear. :)

I'm a jstree newbie and have tried to parse the docs, but I'm getting a bit stuck with this one. I have the following code:

$("#tree").jstree({
   "json_data" : {
       "data" : [
           tree.company
       ]
   },
   "themes" : {
       "theme" : "smb",
       "dots" : false,
       "icons" : true
   },
   "plugins" : [ "themes", "json_data", "ui" ]
}).bind("select_node.jstree", function (event, data) {
   $('#tree').jstree.refresh(data.inst.get_selected());  // FIXME
});

The tree loads and displays just fine, but when I click on the node that I want to become the new root of the displayed tree, I get an error at the line marked FIXME. I've tried all kinds of things with no joy, and would really appreciate some help. What am I doing wrong?

If the entire tree needs to be refreshed, then the tree's container can be referenced and refreshed.

.bind("select_node.jstree", function (event, data) {
    $.jstree._reference(data.inst.get_container()).refresh(); //(data.inst.get_selected());  // FIXME
}).bind("refresh.jstree", function (event, data) {
    alert("Refreshed!");
});

If just the node needs to be referenced in select_node: data.rslt.obj[0];

Or another round about way to get it (same node as above): $.jstree._reference(data.inst.get_container()).get_selected();

You may also need to destroy and rebuild the tree: $.jstree._reference("#tree").destroy(); I know this may seem wasteful, but you are replacing the root node anyways.

I'm pretty sure the reason you're getting the error on that line is because you've got your syntax a little off in this line:

$('#tree').jstree.refresh(data.inst.get_selected());

Try this instead:

$('#tree').jstree("refresh", data.inst.get_selected());
