Custom node html causes issues when jstree.dnd tries to find the anchor element

Hi

First of all, thanks for this awesome plugin!

My tree outputs extra elements so that it can have columns on the right with check boxes for stuff. It looks like this:

<li class="jstree-leaf">
  <div class="page">
    <div class="col1" style="width: 635px;">
      <a href="#" class="title">Testing</a>
    </div>
    <div class="col2">
      <div class="actions"></div>
      <div class="published"><input type="checkbox" value="1" name="published" id="published"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</li>

The problem occurs when using the dnd plugin (with html_data and themes) and you start to drag an element. It can't find the first child anchor because it's inside a div and it fails - https://github.com/vakata/jstree/blob/v.pre1.0/jquery.jstree.js#L801 I'm using the downloaded pre1 code from the site.

I had to change it to obj = obj.find("a:first"); for it to work with my app. This selector (.children("a:eq(0)")) is used 8 times in the app, do you think it could be made configurable? Or is there a better solution I'm not seeing?

Thanks

I am currently working on implementing jstreegrid in the core (it is a user plugin) - that will allow for tree grids. pre 1.0 versions have very strict requirements regarding the html contents of each node, this is why your code is not working. I will do my best for the upcoming 1.0 version (there already are major changes in the way HTML is treated).

Great, looking forward to v1!

Thanks
