Problems with Accessing Attributes from a Backbone.js Model



I have a JSON File looking like this:





JSON :







{

"clefs": [

{"title": "..", "path": ".."},

... ,

{"title": "..", "path": ".."}

],



....



"rests": [

{"title": "..", "path": ".."},

... ,

{"title": "..", "path": ".."}

]



}







This is a nested JSON, right? So I try to convert that into Model/Collections nested into Backbone.js like this:





Backbone.js :







window.initModel = Backbone.Model.extend({

defaults: {

"title": "",

"path": ""

}

});



window.CustomCollection = Backbone.Collection.extend({

model: initModel

});



window.Init = Backbone.Model.extend({

url : function(){

return "/api/data.json"

},



parse: function(response) {



clefs = new CustomCollection();

clefs.add(response.clefs);

this.set({clefs: clefs});



.....



rests = new CustomCollection();

rests.add(response.rests);

this.set({rests: rests});

}

});







Now I came out with a Model and into its Attributes my Collection: clefs, ..., rests.





When it's come to pass my Collection to a View I cannot!





I made this





View :







$(document).ready(function() {

var AppRouter = Backbone.Router.extend({

routes: {

"" : "init"

},



init: function(){

this.init = new Init();



//this.init.attributes return the Collections: clefs, ..., rests into an object(firebug)



this.initView = new InitView({collection: this.init.get("rests") });//dont work

//this.initView = new InitView({collection: this.init.get(rests) });//dont work

//this.initView = new InitView({collection: this.init.attributes });//dont work

//this.initView = new InitView({collection: this.init.attributes['clefs'] });//dont work

this.init.fetch();



}

});



var app = new AppRouter();

Backbone.history.start();

});







It's an ugly situation right now!! I have a Backbone Model with Attributes(Collections) but I can't extract these Attributes, I try with JSON(), get, _.each, _.map but no success !

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
