    <p>I'm playing with PhoneGap for the first time. I'd like to do the following:</p> <p>Create a login UI in the file index.html like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input id="email"&gt; &lt;input id="password"&gt; &lt;button id="login"&gt;Login&lt;/button&gt; </code></pre> <p>The UI will appear on an iphone. When user clicks the login button, I want to asychronously authenticate against the website <a href="http://mysite.com/login">http://mysite.com/login</a>. If authentication fails, user stays on the index.html UI. If authentication succeeds, user sees a new UI found in dashboard.html, which looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;task 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;task 2&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;task 3 etc... (asychronously retrieve data from http://mysite.com)&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>The user can perform asynchronous actions against the list in dashboard.html. So to do this, the server-side scripts must always check to see if user has the appropriate permissions.</p> <p>SO my questions are:</p> <p><strong>1) I've outlined what I'd like to achieve, but i've also suggested web-development philsophy to solving the problem. Is there a better overall approach?</strong></p> <p>2) Which asynchronous technology should I use? Ajax, webservice, something else?</p> <p>3) Can I still use SESSION on the server side to maintain user session data like user_id, roles, permissions etc... That way the client machine doesn't have to transmit this data with every asynchronous call?</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.
