Change type of an existing node (icon and colour)

[J Hesketh]

Hi, I'm fairly new to jsTree and jQuery so I might be doing something wrong, but I can't seem to update the appearance of an existing node by changing its type.

I'm using the set_type method (3.3.3 syntax with obj first then type) and I've tried calling redraw after but the node's appearance still doesn't change.

Here is an example of my types:

"types" : {

  "default" : {

    "li_attr":{"class":"black"},

    "icon" : false

  },

  "good" : {

    "icon" : "glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-up",

    "li_attr":{"class":"black"},

    "a_attr":{"title":"<bean:message key='GOOD'/>"}

  },

  "nogo" : {

    "icon" : "glyphicon glyphicon-remove",

    "li_attr":{"class":"red"},

    "a_attr":{"title":"<bean:message key='NO_GO'/>"}

  }

}

And the code I'm trying to change the type with (when a button is clicked, id and newType are set elsewhere):

var lInstance = $('#left').jstree(true);

var lnode = lInstance.get_node(id);
lInstance.set_type(lnode, newType);

lInstance.redraw(true);

Out of interest, if I remove the li_attr from 'good' and I try to change a node from 'good' to 'nogo' with li_attr of class 'red' (color:red) then set_type applies the red colour to the node AND its children but it doesn't change the icon. I wonder if it is only applying new settings but not overwriting settings specified by the old type?

I can't use refresh because the tree is being modified by the user so retrieving the data again will undo the user's changes.

Can you spot what I'm missing?

Thanks.

My bad, I didn't spot I'd left in a line of code lnode.type = newType; before the set_type call. Works perfectly when removed.
