I’m running a content-based website, and I usually used ajax to dynamically add items to the content list. Every time I updated my item structure I have to change my javascript to fit the new structure. I wonder whether there was any solution to keep script stable regardless of the changing of HTML?
Simple, instead of using the DOM to handle your data, process everything upon completion of the ajax request and only then call a function that has all of your data display functionality. Obviously you can’t get away from having to change some code somewhere when you for instance rename HTML elements but you can separate concerns so that you only have to touch code in one place.
