jsTree, hover_node, event

Question

The jsTree hover_node callback doesn't return the original ('mouseenter') event. I'd like to get the mouse position (Client.Y) from the event.

Any suggestions, which don't involve hacking the core?

thanks, BBZ

Answer 1

After going through the documentation I thought about writting a plugin.

$.jstree.plugin('custom-plugin', {
  _fn: {
    hover_node: function () {
      console.log(arguments);
      this.__call_old();
    }
  }
});

This could be a start (for future reference). But the argument passed was a node not the event.

Finally I thought of binding to the mouseenter.jstree event. Which gives me the original event.
