    <p>I'm trying to make a small backbone.js app, but struggle with the order of things.</p> <p>In my html file, I have two script blocks in the header:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/template" id="model-template"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;&lt;%= title %&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; jQuery(function(){ window.model.fetch(); }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>In my app.js, I have defined a simple model, view and a router. </p> <pre><code>(function($) { window.MyModel = Backbone.Model.extend({ url: '/mymodel' }); window.mymodel = new MyModel(); $(document).ready(function() { window.MyModelView = Backbone.View.extend({ template: _.template($('#mymodel-template').html()), initialize: function () { _.bindAll(this, 'render'); }, render: function () { var renderedContent = this.template(this.model.toJSON()); $(this.el).html(renderedContent); return this; } }); }); window.MyApp = Backbone.Router.extend({ routes: { '': 'home' }, initialize: function () { this.myModelView = new MyModelView({ model: window.mymodel }); }, home: function() { var $body = $('body'); $body.empty(); $body.append(this.myModelView.render().el); } }); $(function() { window.App = new MyApp(); Backbone.history.start({pushState: true}); }); })(jQuery); </code></pre> <p>The application is served by a simple sinatra application. The url <code>/mymodel</code> serves a static json file:</p> <pre><code>{ "title": "My Model", } </code></pre> <p>When loading the application, I get an error in the javascript console: </p> <pre><code>Uncaught ReferenceError: title is not defined </code></pre> <p><strong>The problem seems to be, that the view renders itself before the model is fetched from the server. Why is that?</strong></p> <p>Yesterday, I followed the first two backbone.js screencasts from PeepCode. I have tried to compare my application with the one that came out of the screencasts, but cant't see a reason for why my application want work.</p> <p>Any suggestions? </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.
