Body
<p>I'm developing a web site. On the server-side I'm using python (and Genshi) to manipulate/generate the HTML. But I find myself manipulating <strong>the same</strong> kind of HTML fragments on the client-side, using Javascript.</p> <p>Let me show you an example. Suppose I have an editable list of items:</p> <pre><code><form .... > <ul> <li id="i1">Name: <input type="text" name="i1" value="Item 1" /> <a href="#">[del]</a></li> <li id="i2">Name: <input type="text" name="i2" value="Item 2" /> <a href="#">[del]</a></li> </ul> <a id="addnew" href="#">[new]</a> </form> </code></pre> <p>Note: The <code>[new]</code> anchor dynamically adds new items to the form. It doesn't (have to) make any request to the server.</p> <p>Both the server and the client have to know this "template" (pseudo-code):</p> <pre><code><li id="${id}">Name: <input type="text" name="${name}" value="${val} " /> <a href="#">[del]</a></li> </code></pre> <p>The server has to know it to create the initial HTML list, and the client has to know it to allow the users to add and remove items, using the anchors.</p> <p><strong>What would you say are the best-practices to improve reuse in a scenario like this?</strong></p> <hr> <p>Some approaches that I already know I'd like to avoid:</p> <ul> <li>Creating the initial list using javascript. I'm trying to use javascript to improve some parts of the user interaction only</li> <li>Using a template language that I can somehow reuse between the client and the server is not an option because I'm stuck with Genshi for now</li> <li>Generating Javascript on the server side. Tried this before, and it's a pain to debug, due to the extra level of indirection</li> </ul>

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.
