Can I select a node but not check/uncheck it in jsTree?

Question

I want to select node in jsTree by click on title. Node should not change it checked state.

I read jsTree checkbox plugin documentation, but have not found about this.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

Yes, it is. Use the tie_selection checkbox config option when creating the tree:

$('#tree').jstree({
  checkbox : {
    tie_selection : false,
    ...

I would recommend reading about the other checkbox options in the API docs on jstree.com, as you might want to tweak those too (like whole_node : false).
