    <p>I'm new to Backbone (and Marionette), and trying to write a pretty simple app using both. The app has a menu of "groups" on the left nav, and a list of "entries" on the main right div. Every time a Group menu item is clicked, I filter the entries with the group ID and show them, when hide all others. </p> <p>Here is the Entry Item view (all scripts are in CoffeeScript btw):</p> <pre><code>class EntryItemView extends Backbone.Marionette.ItemView tagName: 'tr' template: _.template $('#entryItemTemplate').html() render: -&gt; @$el.html @template(@model.toJSON()) show: -&gt; @$el.show() hide: -&gt; @$el.hide() </code></pre> <p>Here is the Entry List view, extending Marionette's CollectionView:</p> <pre><code>class EntryListView extends Backbone.Marionette.CollectionView itemView: EntryItemView el: '#main tbody' </code></pre> <p>This is the AppRouter, pretty much straightforwad:</p> <pre><code>class AppRouter extends Backbone.Router routes: 'group/:id' : 'showGroup' router = new AppRouter() router.on 'route:showGroup', (id) -&gt; _.each entryViews, (view) -&gt; if view.model.get('group_id') is parseInt(id) view.show() else view.hide() </code></pre> <p>(The <code>entryViews</code> variable is a simple global array to store all EntryItemView instances).</p> <p>With this approach, navigating the app to /group/:id indeed invokes the show() and hide() method of each EntryItemView object. The problem is, looks like the reference between this object and the actual HTML doesn't exist, so the actual element <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code> doesn't show or hide. </p> <p>Can you guys point out what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.</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.
