    <p>I have a <code>UserPanel</code> view, which uses a <code>UserModel</code> as its model. In the template for the <code>UserPanel</code>, I have a conditional that checks whether or not the model is <code>undefined</code>. If the model exists, it displays user information. If it doesn't, it displays the "registration" form.</p> <p>On the user information part of the <code>UserPanel</code>, I have what's essentially an "unregister" button. A user clicks it, and the user information is deleted. The <code>UserPanel</code> responds by re-rendering, allowing them to register a different <code>UserModel</code>.</p> <p>Common sense tells me to call <a href="http://backbonejs.org/#Model-destroy" rel="nofollow">this.model.destroy</a>. When I use this method, my model is deleted from my data store, but the object still exists in <code>this.model</code>. When the view responds to the model update (by calling <code>render</code>), it still thinks it has a valid model, with all its data and the like. I can call delete on <code>this.model</code>, but that doesn't trigger any events. I can't trigger the event before I <code>delete</code>, because then the view updates before I can delete the model. I have setup the view to respond to model deletions with a method that simply uses <code>delete</code> on the model, then calls <code>render</code>. This works, but bothers me on a conceptual level, since those methods are for handling view updates and not more model manipulation.</p> <p>In general, what's the proper way to explicitly dispose of a model that is not stored by a collection?</p> <p>EDIT: I am using <a href="https://github.com/jeromegn/Backbone.localStorage" rel="nofollow">Backbone.localStorage</a> as my data store. This might have something to do with it.</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.
