I need assistance figuring out how to use the events provided with the jQuery plugin treetable.
jQuery treetable (PLUGIN): http://plugins.jquery.com/treetable/
This is what I am trying to solve.
When a branch collapses the plugin should trigger an event called "onNodeCollapse".
When a branch collapses I just need to display a javascript popup that says "A branch has collapsed". From here I can tie it into our own functions.
I have tried several different methods as well as searching on line for a solution.

You need to set the onNodeCollapse function in the settings object when the treetable is first set up.
$("#example-basic").treetable({
expandable: true,
onNodeCollapse: function() {
alert( "A branch has collapsed" );
}
});
