Hello -

I’m having a problem using the Live Tree plugin [1], which is designed  
to create an Ajax-based tree visualization of an acts\_as\_tree  
model. I am embedding the Live Tree in a partial [id =‘goals’], and  
it works fine until I update the partial, such as by calling the  
remote function “Merge”.

When the \_goals.rhtml is loaded, instead of loading the tree in the  
partial, a Live Tree is written over the entire window, without style  
sheets or javascript headers (so its functionality is impaired, and  
the page never finishes loading).

* * *

 \<%= live\_tree(:goal\_tree, { :initial\_data\_root =\> @root, :include\_parents =\> true, :showCheckboxes =\> showCheck, :depth =\> 5, }) %\>

\<%= link\_to\_remote “Merge”, {:url=\>“/event\_trees/merge/  
#{@root.id}”, :submit=\>“goals”,:update =\> ‘goals’,}, {}%\>

* * *

Does anyone have suggestions about what to do here? This problem has  
appeared in the past [2] but was unresolved ☹

Thanks!

Dustin
