    <p>You are misusing the <code>el</code> attribute. <code>$('#content').html(this.view.el)</code> will result in copying the <code>$('#content')</code> element inside itself (because view.el is equal to <code>$('#content')</code>).</p> <p>You should try removing the <code>el</code> attribute from the view object and let it generate itself. Then <code>$('#content').html(this.view.el);</code> should work.</p> <p>One other possible problem is that you are rendering the entire collection inside a <code>li</code> element - was this what you are going for? The best way to go about this would be to have each model in the collection represent a <code>li</code> tag and the collection a <code>ul</code> tag.</p> <p>Other issues:</p> <ul> <li>the <code>view</code> element is receiving a collection but you are trying to render a model</li> <li>in the router, <code>newCollection</code> is not accessible in the home method</li> <li>You are not calling <code>Backbone.history.start()</code></li> </ul> <p>Here is how i would rewrite the code:</p> <pre><code>var model = Backbone.Model.extend({ idAttribute: 'custId' }); var model_view = Backbone.View.extend({ template: Handlebars.compile($("#modelTemplate").html()), tagName: 'li', initialize: function() { _.bindAll(this, 'render'); this.render(); this.on('change',this.render); }, render: function() { $(this.el).html( this.template(this.model.toJSON()) ); return this; } }); var collection = Backbone.Collection.extend({ initialize: function(){ }, model: model, url: '/cust' }); var collection_view = Backbone.View.extend({ tagName: "ul", initialize: function(){ _.bindAll(this, 'render','renderModels'); this.render(); this.renderModels(); this.collection.bind("reset", this.render); this.collection.bind("reset", this.renderModels); }, render: function(){ // just create the 'ul' tag; we will populate it with model view elements; a collection template is no longer needed return this; }, renderModels: function() { this.collection.each(function(obj){ var view = new model_view({ model: obj }); $(this.el).append(view.el); },this); } }); var router = Backbone.Router.extend({ initialize: function(){ this.newCollection = new collection(); this.newCollection.fetch(); }, route: { "": "home" }, home: function(){ this.view = new collection_view({collection: this.newCollection}); $('#content').html(this.view.el); // #content should not be a 'ul' tag, the 'ul' is generated by the collection_view } }); var app = new router(); Backbone.history.start(); </code></pre> <p>Make sure you update your templates accordingly.</p> <p>Please excuse possible errors, i had no means to test the code but i believe it points out the logic you should use.</p> <p>Cheers!</p>

    1. COSuggestions: use [`this.$el`](http://backbonejs.org/#View-%24el) instead of `$(this.el)`, `render` should probably call `renderModels` so that you don't have to worry about binding order vs calling order. Those are pretty minor points though.

    3. COWeeee!!! It does something. Error in router route needs to be routes which made Backbone.history.start undefined. Your 1st point--I think that was a mistake from desparatly trying to get it to work. Didn't realize I didn't have to define el. Didn't realize I had to iterate collection, thought the framework automagically handled that. Thanx!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
