Question

I’m getting a junk of JSON data and would like to work with that data without refreshing the site.

There are two divs:

• items
• item

If the user selects an item from the items list, div#item should be displayed instead of div#items with the item data. In Jade, I have to check if the item data has been defined:

- if(typeof(item) != 'undefined')

The click is handled by jQuery and I’m filling item with the corresponding data, hiding #items and showing #item, but due to the if-clause, Jade doesn’t get that item now has a value.

I really would like to stick to the single request and do most of the data handling on the client-side as every refresh of the page automatically loads all the JSON data again. What would be the best solution for that?

Should I put the data into an HTML5 store?

Thanks

I found a workaround by just filling the div from jQuery with the .html() function. Anything better is highly appreciated.
