how to update columnview elements via AJAX

[mgiraldo]

Hi

I have a columnview which is created in multiple "passes". This is for a tree structure which is rather large so loading all at one pass is time consuming:

• first the main elements are created (basic ul with child lis)
• then, for each child li that has more children, an AJAX request is sent to populate it

It works fine if I do the all-at-once method as described in the documentation (plain list, not getSubtree). If I do the AJAX-based load, my list is properly updated but I am not sure how to notify columnview that the original list has changed.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks
