Ditto! I guess I wasn't thinking / typing clearly enough. I'm all for the
MVC/MVP approach but I guess it'd help if we were all a little clearer
about what we mean sometimes. Terminology has a lot to answer for. It
depends what you mean by domain object, demarcation and all that.
In the strict MV* world the model is not supposed to know JS about the
views it may appear in so it would be the responsibility of the presenter/
controller to say that 'hmmm, in this context we need a foo to display as
a bitmap' and then construct the relevant transformer....oh hell...it's
happened...in plain text...I've ended up seeing the other guys point of
view and agreeing with it....good job I never took up law!!!
Ok then, a transformer it is!
What do I care.... *8-)
