    <p>Nice to see someone with so much street cred using Meteor! The best way to get the value is with <a href="http://docs.meteor.com/#eventmaps" rel="nofollow">event.currentTarget</a> and to get stuff from the data contexts there is also another way which needs no DOM knowledge</p> <pre><code>Template.player.events({ 'keypress #name':function(event,context) { //Get the event sending this' value console.log(event.currentTarget.value) //Traverse the DOM on the template 'player' in this case console.log(context.find('#score').value) } }); </code></pre> <p>Basically the best way to get the value of the sender is to use <code>event.currentTarget</code> to access the DOM for that object sending the event. </p> <p>The reason it's implemented this way is probably because any dom object can send an event and it won't necessarily always have a <code>value</code> field so a slight bit of knowledge of the DOM is required when handling the event maps but using <code>event.currentTarget.value</code> works for most form fields</p> <p><strong>Data contexts</strong></p> <p>Regarding the data contexts you should be able to use the data available in the templates from the helpers, e.g if theres a <code>{{score}}</code> &amp; a <code>{{name}}</code> value in the template or a helper, which is passed in this case via the <code>{{#each}}</code> for each individual player.</p> <pre><code> this.name, this.score; </code></pre> <p>Which is also the same as (I usually use <code>context</code> in my helper but <code>template</code> is another way of callng it i guess like in travellingprog's answer)</p> <pre><code> context.data.name, context.data.score; </code></pre> <p>The <code>this</code> helps get data from the template's data context into event's so that one doesn't have to use hidden HTML attributes containing data, e.g with how the player is removed its a bit cleaner than storing the <code>_id</code> in the dom somewhere. That being said <code>event.currentTarget</code> or <code>context.find(..)</code> are the best way to get the data from a textfield.</p>

    1. COIn your case, the template's context in an event handler would be stored in `context.data`, which makes your name scheme confusing. Your variable `context` is actually a reference to the current instance of the template. Although, as you mentioned, if you want to retrieve the data context inside an event handler, you can just use `this`.

    2. COI use `context`/`template` because `this` won't always work in certain scenarios. It is a context based on the data available at that time so hence why i prefer context. `this` will return the window as described here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15137206/the-context-of-this-in-meteor-template-event-handlers-using-handlebars-for-te/15149650?noredirect=1#comment21969567_15149650. It is more an issue with meteor but I prefer it because `this` sometimes confuses me with Sencha projects, as soon as the issue's fixed it will be consistently the data context where available

    3. CO@Akshat well the `add` form is not per Player, just per Leaderboard (of which there is only one, though). I think `context.find` makes more sense than `document.getElement`, but how do I guarantee a template's context? Also is there any simple way to associate the name input(for example)'s value with `this.name` even when it's been changed by the user typing? At least, any way simpler than what travellingprog suggested?

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.
