[# 1] I want to hide the root node from jstree?
I added a few sub-roots of the node to the Root node, so I want to hide the root node from jsTree?

After applying the following CSS To hide the root node, a problem with viewing n appeared in IE8:
$("ul:contains('Root')").css('position','relative');
$("ul:contains('Root')").css('top','-20px');
$("ul:contains('Root')").css('left','-20px');

[# 2] In the next core plugin ,
I introduced a string encoded value ( Root_ID ) for a Root node to open a Root node Initially, it works great
"core" : { initially_open" : [ "Root_ID" ] }
Root node identifiers can vary RootID, RID, Root_id, R_ID ..... since we provide different xml answers.
Psudo code is something like:
"core" : { initially_open" : [ **1st_node_of_Tree_like_(ul > li:first)_OR_$(".jstree-last").first()** ] }
How can I achieve these two things?
Any help or guidance in this matter would be appreciated.
