    <p>I never found an optimal solution for this problem so I am hoping that some of you out there have a few solutions.</p> <p>Let's say I need to render out a list of checkboxes and each checkbox has a set of additional data that goes with it. This data will be used purely in the context of javascript and jquery. My usual strategy is to render this data in hidden fields that are grouped in the same container as the checkbox.</p> <p>My rendered HTML will look something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div&gt; &lt;input type="checkbox" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" class="genreId" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" class="titleId" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>My only problem with this is that the data in the hidden fields get posted to the server when the form is submitted. For small amounts of data, this is fine. However, I frequently work with large datasets and a large amount of data is needlessly transferred.</p> <p>UPDATE: Before submitting this post, I just saw that I can add a "DISABLED" attribute to my input element to suppress the submission of data. Is this pretty much the best approach that I can take?</p> <p>Thanks</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.
