    <p>I am trying to dynamically append an HTML-snippet to an existing Element with <code>.append</code>. </p> <p>Somehow, the HTML String which was created by the script is not appended to the element. </p> <p>The element which is appended to is not hooked into the DOM at the moment when the snippet is appended. </p> <p>All of it is encapsulated in a JavaScript function. Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>append_content = function() { var elem = $('&lt;li&gt;&lt;div&gt;some text&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;'); var somecontent = get_content(); // returns a string: '&lt;div&gt;xx&lt;/div&gt;' elem.append('&lt;div&gt;bleh1&lt;/div&gt;'); elem.append(somecontent); elem.append('&lt;div&gt;bleh2&lt;/div&gt;'); console.log(elem); return elem; } </code></pre> <p>The log contains all items correctly, like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt; &lt;div&gt;some text&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;bleh1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;xx&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;bleh2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>But when im hooking the elem to the DOM later on, the content of the function call is gone. I.e. it is not visible in the computed source (neither in FireBug nor Chrome development tools). </p> <p>It looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li&gt; &lt;div&gt;some text&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;bleh1&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;bleh2&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>I am almost convinced that I have some scope issues or something like that here, but I don't get it. There is no error message in the console. Any advice?</p> <h2>Update</h2> <p>Indeed, this was a self-made problem. Striipng down the code for an examle to post here made me realize that i called a similar function wihtout the function call mentioned above - silly me. Thanks for all the comments and help.</p>

    1. COThis should work just fine; http://jsfiddle.net/v25Da/. Can you show a snippet which demonstrates this behaviour?

    2. COYour element isn't the `<li>` anything that is appended is added after the `<li>` element resulting in the above comment demo

    3. COYou will need to show us more code, for example the part where you "hook the elem to the DOM later on". What you provided us works.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
