How to select a specific node programmatically?

Question

I have a jstree. I want to select the node which is bound to the object which has a location with id of 158. This works but seems stupid. What\'s the more idiomatic way of doing

Answer 1

trigger click on first anchor

$("#jstree .jstree-anchor:first").click(); 

or by node id 158

$("#jstree #158").find(".jstree-anchor:first").click(); 

$('#' + 158).find(".jstree-anchor:first").click();
