(noOfMoeves times .. ) Inside set time outplayer1 Inside set time outplayer1 Inside set time outplayer1 Inside set time outplayer1 </code></pre> <p><strong>EDIT :</strong></p> <p>I am wanting o/p of following way</p> <p>I am expecting the code to go line by line .. printing "<code>Inside for loop</code>" console log first, then wait for "<code>timeDiff</code>" period and then print the "<code>Inside settimeout</code>" function console log .. how can i do that ? –</p> <pre><code> Inside for loopplayer1 Inside set time outplayer1 // (after waiting for timeDiff time) Inside for loopplayer2 Inside set time outplayer2 // (after waiting for timeDiff time) ...... ...... </code></pre> <p>Also, playerName variable is getting same value in each settimeout console log statement ?</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.
