[jQuery] treeview

Hi,
I am new to jquery i want to use jquery treeview plugin in one of my
project.
It will have 2 panes left one will consist of treeview and right pane
will consist of content
The content will change on click of tree leaf.
According to me the only way to achieve it to put a onclick or (click
in jquery ) in every leaf of tree which will show or hide respective
divs.
My question is this the best methodology or Treeview has any property
to make it more efficient or something.
And I did not get what property persist means. can any one help me
with these questions.
Thanks
