# Example 9 - custom html

This example uses the onCreateLi option to create an edit link next to the tree node.

### html

    <div id="tree1"></div>

### javascript

    $(function() {
        var $tree = $('#tree1');

        $tree.tree({
            data: ExampleData.example_data,
            autoOpen: 1,
            onCreateLi: function(node, $li) {
                // Append a link to the jqtree-element div.
                // The link has an url '#node-[id]' and a data property 'node-id'.
                $li.find('.jqtree-element').append(
                    '&lt;a href="#node-'+ node.id +'" class="edit" data-node-id="'+
                    node.id +'"&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;'
                );
            }
        });

        // Handle a click on the edit link
        $tree.on(
            'click', '.edit',
            function(e) {
                // Get the id from the 'node-id' data property
                var node_id = $(e.target).data('node-id');

                // Get the node from the tree
                var node = $tree.tree('getNodeById', node_id);

                if (node) {
                    // Display the node name
                    alert(node.name);
                }
            }
        );
    });
