To enlist all the records:

PHP Code:

function walk(arr){
    var str = '';
    for (var i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
        if (arr[i].id){
            str += arr[i].id + ':' + arr[i].name + '\n';
            if (arr[i].children.length > 0)
                str += walk(arr[i].children);
        }
    return str;
}

don't we just love elegant code!

and don't forget to break when you retrieve the desired value.
