Hi,  
Is there is any way in ruby on rails where we show all my groups there  
subgroups  
with check boxes in tree structure way?

```
e.g
     group A
        |
        ----Group A.1
        |
         ----Group A.2
                 |
                 ---------Group A.2.1

```

All with check boxes and subgroup opens when click on root ?

“I want tree-view set of +/- check boxes that open and close to  
reveal/hide lower level groups. Checking higher level boxes will  
automatically mean checking boxes farther down on the tree, but checking  
lower level boxes will not produce auto-checking of higher level boxes:  
E.g:-  
Main Group I.  
   Subgroup 1.  
   Subgroup 2.  
       Subgroup 2a.  
   Subgroup 3.  
   Subgroup 4.  
   Subgroup 5.  
       Subgroup 5a.  
       Subgroup 5b.  
           Subgroup 5b-1.”
