    <p>To be honest, MVC isn't well-suited for Javascript. It can support the basic fundamentals of the design, sure - you can create pseudoclasses to act as controllers or models, support basic inheritance, and you can have it manipulate or create any number of DOM elements, but there's a price that you pay for that - in overhead, accessibility, and usability.</p> <p>In my opinion, I consider Javascript more of an augmentation - the KISS mentality exists for a good reason. If you're interested in better ways to organize your code, there's always the option of packaging related functionality into modules (sic) and abstracting out portions as appropriate. For example, creating a factory to do more complex AJAX request management, or a pseudoclass to handle processing of similar types of data. Using a standard base function for controllers, another for models, etc, as prototypes for new instances of those objects can accomplish similar functionality... but again, it's sort of going against the grain of Javascript.</p> <p>However, if you're stuck on the MVC idea just for the sake of structure, consider something like the following:</p> <pre><code>;(function(window, $) { /** * Event Object * A quick description goes here. **/ var Events = window.Events = { 'bindTrackables': function() { $('a.trackable').live('click', function() { if(!_gaq) _gaq = []; _gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/ajax/foobar']); }); }, 'bindSomeEvent': function() { // etc } }; /** * Data Cache * I'll need to remember stuff later, so I store it here **/ var Cache = window.Cache = { 'data': {}, 'store': function(key, value) { Cache.data[key] = value; }, 'fetch': function(key) { return Cache.data[key]; } }; /** * Request Object * Stores native AJAX requests for later use **/ var Request = window.Request = { 'current_requests': [], 'send': function(url, type, data, callback) { Request.current_requests.push($.ajax({ 'url': url, 'type': type, 'data': data, 'callback': callback })); }, } // add some private logic here })(window, jQuery); </code></pre> <p>It's extremely basic, but you get the idea. Modular code is key... in JS, this is more important than forcing your application (or the language) to fit a certain style.</p>

    1. COI completely agree with your point, but my application is complicated (it's a Gmail-esque application -- not nearly as big, but the point remains). Even organized similarly to the model in your post, the code was a mess; I had to find some organization model so I didn't go crazy. I don't need to adhere to MVC if it's a hassle to implement (well), but in that case I do need a replacement pattern.

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
