[Dojo-interest] TreeWidget: how to get current node on createChild

[Jason Cline]

I'm assuming you are using  something similar to the TreeContextual
menu provided in the examples to invoke createChild.

'parent' is the JSON encoded rep. of the node you clicked on (or is
selected in the tree) to create the child.
'index' is the position under the parent node to add the child.

This is the default behavior of the tree.  If you are trying to click
on a node and create a sibling of the clicked node, then you could
probably do something on the server side to insert before or after the
'parent' node.
