It seems that this stopped working. I'm absolutely sure that this worked the the time of posting. Now it's required to send the cors headers additionally with every request not only in the OPTIONS preflight. I tried the cors gem again and no it works with their wildcard example. God I hate to debug CORS errors.

yeah, thanks for link. Nice reading and supports my plan for the next smaller project to try AngularJS. But I still think that you can use AngularJS in addition to Backbone. I will see. Thanks man.

@becreative-germany thanks for the reply. I know about the theoretical use but it is so rare that it would be better never to tell beginners about !important. The would get their own ways. For example by prepending their element definition with a parent element or another class to increase the significance. Even if they would create elements with ids to get that significance- still better than using that annoying and lazy !important way

Never heard of this shortcut. Thanks!

@kevingaudin thanks for your reply. This is the one and only scenario which requires the use of the device option- I mentioned it in my last sentence.
All you other guy who don`t like my comment. Sorry. It was a kind of mental valve as I have to continue a whole project from a freelancer who did his job without any passion. This device thing was only the tip of the iceberg.
Have a nice day!
