    <p>I am trying to load a different xml file everytime a link is clicked, based on its href. I have the following in head:</p> <p>JAVASCRIPT</p> <pre><code>window.onload=function() { loadXMLDoc("papers.xml"); // loads the default xml file so that page is not empty } function scanForXML(){ var extLinks=document.getElementById('results_list').getElementsByTagName('a'); for (i=0; i&lt;extLinks.length; i++) { extLinks[i].onclick=function getName() { var fileName=this.getAttribute('href'); loadXMLDoc(fileName); return false; } } } </code></pre> <p>HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;ol id="results_list"&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a class="tooltip" href="paper2.xml"&gt; Teaching with Tablet PC's &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt; &lt;a href="paper3.xml" class="tooltip"&gt; Tablet PC’s as Instructional Tools &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ol&gt; </code></pre> <p>The onclick event works, I get the href value but the new xmlFile does not get loaded. Any ideas why?</p> <p>ps: no jquery plz, cannot use that. trying to learn better basic javascript</p> <p>The Javascript load code - by the way it does not work in chrome and opera - but works the default xml file gets loaded in safari Code:</p> <pre><code>function loadXMLDoc(dname) { if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.open("GET",dname,false); xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML; } </code></pre> <p>Thanks! K</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.
