    <p>I am trying to do a simple call where I get data back from $.ajax() and would like to save it into a global variable which I can use in a function that called the ajax call. </p> <p>Why is the variable not being set? Why is the value that I set gets lost?</p> <pre><code>jQuery.support.cors = true; $.myNamespace = { timerID: "in namespace" }; $(document).ready(function () { $("#btnSkip").click(function () { alert($.myNamespace.timerID); startCall(); }); function startCall() { $.myNamespace.timerID = "in startCall()"; alert($.myNamespace.timerID); finishCall(); alert($.myNamespace.timerID); } function finishCall() { $.myNamespace.timerID = "in finishCall()"; alert($.myNamespace.timerID); $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: getUrl, processData: false, contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", success: function (data) { $.myNamespace.timerID = "in ajax succeeded call"; alert($.myNamespace.timerID); }, error: function (xhr, status, error) { GetSongInfoFailed(xhr, status, error); } }); } function GetSongInfoFailed(xhr, status, error) { alert('Service call failed: ' + xhr + ' ' + status + ' ' + error); } }); </code></pre> <p>Output from <code>alert()</code>s in above code:</p> <ol> <li><code>in namespace</code></li> <li><code>in startCall()</code></li> <li><code>in finishCall()</code></li> <li><code>in ajax succeeded call</code></li> <li><code>in finishCall()</code></li> </ol> <p>Why is the last variable is set to "in finishCall()" instead of "in ajax succeeded call"? </p> <p>Note, I am not a jQuery or javascript expert. </p> <p>Thank you so much!</p>

    1. COstop using alerts for debugging use console.log(message) instead. You can either use firebug in firefox or dev tools in safari or chrome. You'll be much happier if you do so.

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.

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