Can I have expanded one node only on load in Tabulator.js?

I am using nested data trees in Tabulator.js and if I use the option dataTreeStartExpanded:true all nested rows will be expanded. I want only one be expanded on load/render? Is that possible?
Here is working jsFiddle to play around.
I found that there is a div with class tabulator-data-tree-control-expand or tabulator-data-tree-control-collapse. Changing the name in dev tools does nothing.
Currently it looks like
But I want to be like that after the web page loads
Maybe I can somehow click the + to expand. Tabulator has a listener there
But I do not know how to call it for that particular +.

oh, I found it in documentation.
.. a function that will be passed in a row component and the level of that row in the table (starting at 0), it should return a boolean value to indicate the rows expansion state:
var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
dataTree:true,
dataTreeStartExpanded:function(row, level){
return row.getData().driver; //expand rows where the "driver" data field is true;
},
});
and then in data you have to use new property driver:true

How to get a different grid as child from a different row of another grid using Kendo detailInit function

I have made a grid with buttons in each row which on-click opens a pop-up having different grids on each button.
Each row of the pop-up grid may have a child (another grid with only one column). And if there is no child it should be empty.
So, I'm trying to map each row with a child using parent-Id(PId) and (Id) as shown in the given example, which is taking all the available child's into a row or taking none of them into it.
Dojo Sample Code

Using detailInit requires a slightly different method of exposing the data belonging to the parent item. You can extract this data using e.data like so:
var newData2 = crdata.filter(function(ell) {
return ell.NId == e.data.Id && ell.PId != 0;
});
That along with checking that the dataSource NId = parent row Id and moving the setup of the dataSource for the child grid into the detailInit function itself should do the trick.
Dojo example to demonstrate the above.

Getting the Control inside a table

I'm trying to get the control which is inside of a cell table; in my table I have different controls, labels, checkboxes, etc.
I basically need to get the control which is used in that table
var x = document.getElementById('myTable').rows[0].cells;
alert(x[0].innerText);
//alert(x[3].innerHTML);
if (x.Control == checkbox) {
x.checked = true;
}
This will be in a loop but for now I just need to be able to check the checkbox by grabbing the control and setting that control to true
Any hints/help would be great

I doesn't really understand what you exactly need is it
document.getElementById("checkbox").checked = true;
here checkbox is the id of a particular checkbox

I would put a unique id on the form element instead and use that to grab it. In this way you can change the structure in the future. Example: perhaps you no longer want to use a table grid, but a grid of divs.
When you use innerHTML you will might also grab textnodes and other things you put in the cell.
An alternative - if you really want to find a specific cell in a table - is to give each cell a unique id on the form "cell-4-5" where 4 is the row and 5 is the column.
[EDIT]
If you want to have the cell contents returned as a DOM-object then childNodes can be used:
var x = document.getElementById('myTable').childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes
If you want to have the cell contents returned as a string then innerHTML can be used:
var x = document.getElementById('myTable').childNodes[0].childNodes[0].innerHTML
To check if the checkbox is checked you need to keep it as a DOM element and thus use the first version.

How to update ZK Grid values from jQuery

I have three Tabs and in each tab, I have a Grid.
The data for each Grid is coming from a database, so I am using rowRenderer to populate the Grids. The following code is common for all three Grids:
<grid id="myGrid1" width="950px" sizedByContent="true" rowRenderer="com.example.renderer.MyRowRenderer">
The rows are constructed from Doublebox objects. The data is populated successfully.
The Problem:
I need to handle multiple-cell editing on the client side. The editing is done via mouse-clicking on a particular cell and entering a value.
As example let's say that the user edits first cell on the first row and the value should be
propagated to all other cells on the same row and in all three Grids (so also the two Grids which the user currently does not see, because they are in tabpanes).
I am using jQuery to do this value propagation and it works OK.
I am passing the jQuery as follows:
doublebox.setWidgetListener(Events.ON_CHANGING, jQuerySelectors);
doublebox.setWidgetListener(Events.ON_CHANGE, jQuerySelectors);
This makes it possible to change the value in 1 cell and the change is instantly (visually) seen in all other cells filtered by jQuery selectors.
The problem is that the value is visually distributed to all the cells, but when I try to save the Grid data back to the database, the background values are the old ones.
I am assuming that ZK-Grid component is not aware that jQuery changed all the cell values. Nevertheless if I manually click on a cell that already has the NEW value (enter/leave/change focus) when I save the grid the NEW value is correct in that particular cell. Maybe that's a hint how can I resolve this.
Code of how I extract the Grid values:
Grid tGrid = (Grid) event.getTarget().getFellow("myGrid1");
ListModel model = tGrid.getModel();
MyCustomRow tRow = (MyCustomRow)model.getElementAt(i);
The model for my Grid is a List of MyCustomRow:
myGrid1.setModel(new ListModelList(List<MyCustomRow> populatedList));
I have a couple of assumptions, but whatever I have tried, hasn't worked. I have in mind that jQuery events and ZK-Events are different and probably isolated in different contexts. (Although I have tried to fire events from jQuery and so on..)
Do you have any suggestions? As a whole is my approach correct or there's another way to do this? Thanks for your time in advance!

Your problem is exactly what you are expecting.
Zk has it's own event system and do not care about your jq,
cos it's jq and zk don't observ the DOM.
The ways to solve your problem.
Use the "ZK-Way":
Simply listen at server-side and chage things there.
I am not sure if not selected Tabs
are updateable, but I am sure you could update the Grid
components on the select event of the Tab.
Fire an zk-event your self:
All you need to know, is written in the zk doc.
Basically, you collect your data at client side, send
an Event to the server via zAu.send() extract the
data from the json object at serverside and update your Grids
I would prefer the first one, cos it's less work and there should not be
a notable difference in traffic.

I post the solution we came up with:
This is the javascript attached to each Doublebox in the Z-Grid
//getting the value of the clicked cell
var currVal = jq(this).val();
//getting the next cell (on the right of the clicked cell)
objCells = jq(this).parents('td').next().find('.z-doublebox');
// if there's a next cell (returned array has length) - set the value and
// fire ZK onChange Event
if (objCells.length) {
zk.Widget.$(jq(objCells).attr('id')).setValue(currVal);
zk.Widget.$(jq(objCells).attr('id')).fireOnChange();
} else { //otherwise we assume this is the last cell of the current tab
//So we get the current row, because we want to edit the cells in the same row in the next tabs
var currRow = jq(this).parents('tr').prevAll().length;
//finding the next cell, on the same row in the hidden tab and applying the same logic
objCellsHiddenTabs = jq(this).parents('.z-tabpanel').next().find('.z-row:eq(' + currRow + ')').find('.z-doublebox');
if (objCellsHiddenTabs.length) {
zk.Widget.$(jq(objCellsHiddenTabs).attr('id')).setValue(currVal);
zk.Widget.$(jq(objCellsHiddenTabs).attr('id')).fireOnChange();
}
}
The java code in the RowRenderer class looks something like this:
...
if (someBean != null) {
binder.bindBean("tBean", someBean);
Doublebox box = new Doublebox();
setDefaultStyle(box);
row.appendChild(box);
binder.addBinding(box, "value", "tBean.someSetter");
...
private void setDefaultStyle(Doublebox box) {
box.setFormat("#.00");
box.setConstraint("no negative,no empty");
box.setWidth("50px");
String customJS = ""; //the JS above
//this is used to visually see that you're editing multiple cells at once
String customJSNoFireOnChange = "jq(this).parents('td').nextAll().find('.z-doublebox').val(jq(this).val());";
box.setWidgetListener(Events.ON_CHANGING, customJSNoFireOnChange);
box.setWidgetListener(Events.ON_CHANGE, customJS);
}
What is interesting to notice is that ZK optimizes this fireOnChange Events and send only 1 ajax request to the server containing the updates to the necessary cells.

Determine row and column index of input in table

I'm working on creating a javascript based spreadsheet application. Right now I can dynamically create the spreadsheet as a table with a supplied number of rows and columns and a text input in each cell as can be seen in this picture.
I'd like to have a generic event tied to all of the inputs in the table in which I am able to determine the row index and column index of the input that fired the event. Something like this:
$('.spreadsheet-cell').click(function () {
var rowIndex = $(this).attr('rowIndex');
var columnIndex = $(this).attr('columnIndex');
});
I originally tried implementing things by dynamically adding row and column index attributes to the html input element when I create it but when I add rows or columns after the original spreadsheet has been created things get messy trying to shift the value of these attributes around. I think I could make that method work if it came down to it but it seems messy and I'd prefer not to mess around so much with the DOM when I figure that there is probably some way using jQuery to determine the relative index of the parent <td> and <tr>.

Use jQuery .index. Within your function:
var rowIndex = $("#table tr").index($(this).closest('tr'));
var colIndex = $("#table td").index(this);
