There are only a couple of things that are asynchronous in JavaScript: <ul> <li>Event listeners</li> <li><code>setTimeout</code></li> <li><code>setInterval</code></li> </ul> AJAX uses event listeners internally. So you do someting like: <pre><code>var xhr = new XMLHTTPRequest(); xhr.addEventlistener('readystatechanged', function () { console.log(xhr.responseText); }); </code></pre> If you're working with a callback your code could look something like this: <pre><code>function do_ajax(url, data, callback) { var xhr = new XMLHTTPRequest(); xhr.open("POST", url); xhr.addEventlistener('readystatechanged', function () { if (xhr.readyState==4 && xhr.status==200) { callback(xhr.responseText); } }); } do_ajax("service.php", "foo=bar", function (response) { console.log(response); }); </code></pre> <hr> If you have very complex asynchronous processes I recommend taking a look at <a href="http://wiki.commonjs.org/wiki/Promises/A" rel="nofollow">Promises</a>. <a href="http://api.jquery.com/promise/" rel="nofollow">Here is jQuery's take on promises</a>. You can do something like: <pre><code>when(async_process()).then(function (result) { return do_something_asynchronous(result); // <-- the result is a promise }).done(function (result) { // <-- and the resolved value is the input here console.log(result); }); </code></pre> With Promises your code could look like: <pre><code>headlines.getRandom(true).then(function (random_headlines) { return new HeadLine(random_headlines); }).done(headline) { console.log("And presto!", headline); }); </code></pre>

1. COSince @raddevon is using jQuery, there's no need to go this low-level and deal with XMLHTTPRequest directly. jQuery provides higher-level tools that will accomplish this better.

2. COIf I don't expose ajax internals you can't actually see the event listener at work.

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.
