The TreeView Function renders data in a collapsible tree view from given source (list or tree) using jqxTree from jqWidgets. Optionally, items can have checkboxes for multple selection.
In the source data (#list
parameter) a child element can appear multiple times (with the same id) and reference different parents.
Looped referencing is not supported (a → b → a or a → b → c → a or a → b → c → b).
