    <p>I'm getting back into web development a bit after having been kind of out of it for the past 10 years or so, and I'm overwhelmed by all the new technologies that I'm having to catch up with, ASP.NET, MVC, jQuery, SPA, Knockout, etc. I don't know the second thing about jQuery and my experience with ASP.NET is very limited. I have a little familiarity with ASP.NET WebForms, but MVC (and the rest) is totally new to me.</p> <p>After seeing how many technologies there were, and not knowing which route to explore in my new project, I saw that Hot Towel seems to be a template that combines all the latest stuff into one nice package, so I decided to get the Hot Towel template and start an ASP.NET MVC4 SPA project with it.</p> <p>Now I'm trying to integrate with our in-house UI framework (which has been developing without me over the past few years). I decided to try to update the Details page in the Hot Towel template to have some content. I added a simple <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>, and all's well and good. But if I try to add what I understand to be a jQuery-widget-based component (?), I get nothing. Even for the simplest test of adding content via jQuery, I get nothing:</p> <pre><code>&lt;section&gt; &lt;h2 class="page-title" data-bind="text: title"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;span&gt;Test this&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div id="testDiv"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $("#testDiv").append("Testing"); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/section&gt; </code></pre> <p>I see the <code>span</code>, but not the modified <code>div</code>. And I can't see any of this content in the source ("View source") or the IE9 console (not surprising given the nature of SPA, but what should I do about it?). And the Visual Studio Page Inspector seems to be totally useless (can't get past the splash screen).</p> <p>What is the proper method of adding elements to the UI under the HotTowel/jQuery/MVC/SPA/KockoutJS/Breeze/Durandal model? All these new frameworks are driving my crazy.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> some more details: The jQuery stuff works fine when I move it to the main page of the SPA, but when I have it on the Details "page" it doesn't work. I suspect it has something to do with the SPA nature of this application and how the content of alternate views are delivered not as an entire page, but as updated content for the main page.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> after further investigation, I have discovered the existence of a view model named "detail" which is probably related to this detail view code I have posted. This is the code from the view model:</p> <pre><code>define(['services/logger'], function (logger) { var title = 'Details'; var vm = { activate: activate, title: title }; return vm; //#region Internal Methods function activate() { logger.log(title + ' View Activated', null, title, true); return true; } //#endregion }); </code></pre>

    1. COI don't know anything about howtowel.. But if you try adding `<script> $(document).ready(function(){alert('test');}); </script>` to the bottom of your page just above the ending `</body>` tag do you get the alert?

    2. CONo, I don't get an alert when the SPA loads or when I switch to the details view. I'm not clear what $(document).ready would mean in an SPA where there is only one document for the entire application life cycle. BTW, I don't have a `</body>` tag because the details page is just a segment of a whole page. That's where I tried adding it, not on the main page where the `<body>` tag is.

    3. COHmm, it seems to me that your jQuery files must not be loaded granted I have no idea about HotTowel

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.
