    <p>I have a jQuery autocomplete set up, for which I have a few special requirements. </p> <ul> <li>This is an autocomplete of "user profiles", where <em>each</em> autocomplete entry is rendered by the _renderItem as follows:</li> </ul> <hr> <p>Username: _firstname_lastname_ </p> <hr> <p>Phone number: _clickable_phone_number_ </p> <hr> <p>This part works fine.</p> <ul> <li>Upon selecting, immediately navigate to a different page. I've achieved this using a custom select which uses window.replace to go to a different page (that person's profile)</li> </ul> <p>This works fine as well.</p> <ul> <li>Finally, the "_clickable_phone_number_" link should call another javascript snippet. Or a simply hyperlink</li> </ul> <p>The last part is where I'm having a problem. Since I immediately navigate to a different page upon select, I could not figure out how to "prevent" this action.</p> <p>I am able to add a .live to the _clickable_phone_number_ and run some JS, but I'm not able to stop navigation to the profile page.</p> <p>I hope I'm clear. If not, I can explain further.</p> <p>Can anyone help me on how to achieve this? Basically, how do I hyperlink from within the custom rendered HTML, despite having a custom select() that navigates to a different page.</p> <p>EDIT: Since code snippets might make it clear, here's what I mean:</p> <p>My jQuery autocomplete has a select, like so:</p> <pre><code>$('#input').autocomplete({ source: users, minLength: 3, select: function(event, ui) { window.location.replace("/profile.asp?id=" + ui.item.value); } }).data("autocomplete")._renderItem = function (ul, item) { .. } </code></pre> <p>HTML of each autocomplete rendered element:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class=".ui-menu"&gt; &lt;div class="name"&gt;FirstName LastName&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="phone"&gt;12345&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I have the live event set up like so:</p> <p><code>$('.phone').live("click", function() { callPhone($(this).html()); return false; }</code></p>

    2. COwhy don't you just check the event source element and see if the event came from the phone number piece?

    3. CODo you mean $(this)? If so, inside the autocomplete's select(), the $(this) refers to the input element. Unless I misunderstood your point

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.
