I want to know how I can access the data attribute of each of the items within a branch on mouse over without having the branch open…basically I have branches called categories…within each category are companies…each company contains a data attribute that is an array…

so for example…

-category1  
-company1(data = array [1, 2, 3]  
-company2(data = array [100]  
-company3(data = array [10, 99]

so when I mouse over category 1, I want to access and array [1, 2, 3, 100, 10, 99]…

basically I have a mouse over action for each company within the category…when I mouse over the category…I want all the companys to execute their mouse over action…

Take a look at [www.expocadvr.com/new/default.html](http://www.expocadvr.com/new/default.html)

in the accordion…the last tab (category search) contains the tree component…if you open the first category and mouse over the companies in the list you will notice the appropriate booths highlight…what I want to happen is when someone mouses over a category…all the booths associated with companies in that category will light up…
