    <p>Ok, so I have code that brings me to my index page, then I am calling code through ajax to give me back results from my mongoose db. All of those calls are working, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get my code to execute on success of the ajax call to load another smaller ejs file in a portion of the current page? I have read a few things that say I need to render the ejs server side, but how to I make a call to the server and have it only update a part of the page and not do a whole page load. I am trying to execute a search function on a page that already yields the full results, so I want to replace the full results with what has been searched. Here are the export calls I have to the database:</p> <pre><code>exports.index = function(req, res, next){ Recipe.find(). sort('-updated_at'). exec(function(err, recipes, count){ if( err ) return next( err ); res.render('index', { title: 'Recipe Finder Index', recipes:recipes }); }) }; exports.search = function(req, res, next){ var param=req.params.search; console.log(param); Recipe.find({"fn":new RegExp(param)}). sort('-updated_at'). exec(function(err, recipes, count){ if( err ) return next( err ); //res.render('index', { title: 'Recipe Finder Index', recipes:recipes }); res.contentType('json'); console.log(JSON.stringify({recipes:recipes})); res.write(JSON.stringify({recipes:recipes})); res.end(); }) }; </code></pre> <p>So then I have this inside the first ejs file that loads in a script tag:</p> <pre><code>$('#submitSearch').click(function(){ console.log("clicked"); $.ajax({ url: '/ajax/'+$('input[name=search]').val() , type: 'POST' , cache: false , complete: function() { //called when complete console.log('process complete'); }, success: function(data) { console.log(data); console.log('process sucess'); //returns correct data, but then how can I call ejs? }, }); </code></pre> <p>So the code gives me the objects I am seeking, it grabs the data from the database, but I am having trouble locating code to have a portion of my site reload an ejs file with the new objects I have gotten back. I saw online that partials are no longer supported and I should be using include, but that looks like it only gives an ejs to a portion of the site, does not tell me how to render the ejs with the new data from ajax?</p>

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.
