    <p>I don't think your argument is directed at jQuery, but more the APIs provided by plugin authors.</p> <p>Unfortunately, no two plugin authors will create a plugin with the same API. The level of programmatic access is not limited by jQuery itself, but rather by the author/s of the plugin.</p> <p>Also, as you said, jQuery is all about the DOM -- I see this as a benefit because it means jQuery doesn't get all mixed up in the "logic" (eh, "business logic") of the application... It's quite fine on it's own level of abstraction -- it deals with the DOM, and that's all!</p> <p>You can create an unlimited amount of data structures and additional APIs for your application. jQuery doesn't hinder you in this respect. </p> <hr> <p>You've added more details to your question -- this 'edit' is in response to those details.</p> <p>I think what you're experiencing is common when you reach a certain stage with jQuery... The API becomes insufficient. You don't want the DOM... You want a nice clean API for your module, whether it's an accordion or a data-grid. </p> <p>Personally, I <strong>don't</strong> think that some things should be bundled into a "jQuery plugin" -- doing so normally means sacrificing the API -- or having to resort to jQuery's mechanisms such as psuedo-event triggering through "trigger":</p> <pre><code>var someModule = $('#contain').someCoolModule(); someModule.trigger('initiate'); </code></pre> <p>I get what you're saying, and I think I agree, but I also think it's important to have jQuery on an entirely separate level -- forget about it -- only utilise it when you need to attack the DOM. </p>

    1. COthis is an interesting point. jQuery is perfect to manipulate the DOM, but how is this architecture philosophy when you move at a higher level ?

    2. COjQuery's API "philosophy" is by no means ideal, and it won't suit every situation. If you feel limited by the API, then stop using it; break out of jQuery -- still utilise it -- but don't get muddled up in the API.

    3. COIt's *not* for higher level use. It's the middle-level, extremely powerful library much of the 'higher-level' toolkits are built on. But unless you compromise to fit the capabilities of your chosen toolkit, you usually have to resort to using it a lot.

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.
