Hi, really nice plugin, data binding is something that must be better in DOM.

Is there an example using chain.js and html 5 storage?
I’m really interesting saving and retrieving data from browser’s storage and binding to a element.

Thanks

This is exactly what I was looking for - a way to keep presentatation and data separate in client code, nice work!

Is there a way to clear the previously bound items -> items(’clear’) ?

Thanks

Please read the article, before posting comment about templating.

There is another templating solution called jsRepeater. This solution provides hierarchical databinding, advanced alternation and recursive templates (without the need for sub templates).

Of course it’s 1.) Open Source, 2.) jQuery plugin and 3.) Free

See if it might be useful for you:

I’ve got a post at JavaScriptly.com with 3 examples of binding data to table and how to create advanced custom data binding.

Hope you like it.

Are the items still the same, or do they need to be replaced as well?
If you are having two templates, why don’t you simply put it in one template, and hide or show it when necessary? Can you please be more specific and give me some code examples? Please discuss this in the google group. http://groups.google.com/group/chainjs

Hey,

I’ve been using chain to some really cool stuff - basically advancing the demos you have - and I love it! But I’m not convinced I’m even scratching the surface of what it is capable lol.

I have a problem tho and I can’t find the answer:

Basically I do $(’#tbl-body’).items(items).chain();

But then I want to change remove the whole chain functionality, update the html ‘template’ markup dynamically (I’m doing this), and then reapply chain with a new set of items.

The bit I’m having trouble with is removing chain and the ‘buffer’ of content it stores behind the scenes - coz at the moment when I apply the new ‘items’ it is creating the right number of rows, but still using the old html ‘template’.

Any ideas?
