To display Tasks above Your facets. I created two bunches of codes to render Tasks and Facets but modified the variable names respectively. Unfortunately, the former cannot be displayed.
As Emile mentioned in his detailed answer, your problem is that you're initializing multiple routers with the same route.
Since you seem to be beginning with Backbone, I'll give you a simpler answer than creating a complicated Layout (parent) view:
Just have a single handler for the specific route, and initialize both your views inside it.
It'll look something like:
myapp.router = Backbone.Router.extend({
routes: {
"": "list",
},
list: function() {
this.listContainerView = new myapp.view.TasksContainer({
collection: myapp.collection.tasks
});
$("#contentContainer").append(this.listContainerView.render().el);
this.listContainerView.sorts(); //this can be done inside the view
this.mylistContainerView = new facetsSearch.view.FacetsContainer({
collection: facetsSearch.collection.facets
});
$("#contentContainer2").append(this.mylistContainerView.render().el);
this.mylistContainerView.sorts(); //this can be done inside the view
}
});
You simply initialize 2 views in the same route.
