    <p>I am trying to solve an issue I have where I need to grab the <code>action="/uri/"</code> from the parent form when a user clicks the submit button. If I use <code>$(form).live('submit')</code> it only works half the time. So I am using <code>$('input[type=""]').live('click')</code> instead. However as you can see in the code below, I am trying to grab the action attribute and it does not recognize it, or rather I can't seem to grab the <code>.attr('action')</code> off of it.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; var get_pages_load_options = { target: '#content', beforeSubmit: showRequest, success: showResponse }; $('input[type="submit"]').live('click',function(event){ var url = $(this).closest("form").attr('action'); var named = $(this).closest("form").attr('id') console.debug(url+"/"+named); $("#"+named).ajaxForm(get_pages_load_options); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: url, data: {ajaxtype: "side"}, success: function(data) { $("#sidebar_menu").html(data); } }); event.preventDefault(); return false; }); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>The html that I am trying to use looks like this (removed PHP for readability sake):</p> <pre><code>&lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="bold" colspan="2"&gt; &lt;form id='defcon_form' name='defcon_form' action='/cityhall/' method='post'&gt; &lt;div class="left"&gt; Realm Hoarding &lt;select name='defcon_rate'&gt; &lt;option value='0'&gt;None&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value='10'&gt;Low&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value='20'&gt;Medium&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value='30'&gt;High&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value='50'&gt;Critical&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;font size='-4'&gt;(Stashes Gold/Turn, Decreases Defense)&lt;/font&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="right"&gt; &lt;input type='submit' name='defcon' value='Update Hoarding!' /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; </code></pre> <p>I know the HTML isn't the best and I will need to go back and revise it a bit. </p>

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.
