I am using <a href="http://papermashup.com/jquery-php-ajax-autosuggest/" rel="nofollow">Paper Mashups Autosuggest.</a> I just finished doing a mysql union to bring three tables into one so I could autosuggest names of companies, names of categories and names of subcategories. Unfortunately, while that worked, it added extra li's ( I think that's what they are, here's the <a href="http://i.imgur.com/wlhoJ.png" rel="nofollow">picture.</a>) How do I get rid of those extra li's? Here's my code: <pre><code><?php $db = new mysqli('localhost', 'root' ,'*********', '****************'); if(!$db) { echo 'Could not connect to the database.'; } else { if(isset($_POST['queryString'])) { $queryString = $db->real_escape_string($_POST['queryString']); if(strlen($queryString) >0) { $query = $db->query("SELECT name FROM company WHERE name LIKE '$queryString%' UNION SELECT cat FROM cat WHERE cat LIKE '$queryString%' UNION SELECT subcat FROM subcat WHERE subcat LIKE '$queryString%' LIMIT 10"); if($query) { echo '<ul>'; while ($result = $query ->fetch_object()) { echo '<li onClick="fill(\''.addslashes($result->name).'\');">'.$result->name.'</li>'; echo '<li onClick="fill(\''.addslashes($result->cat).'\');">'.$result->cat.'</li>'; echo '<li onClick="fill(\''.addslashes($result->subcat).'\');">'.$result->cat.'</li>'; } echo '</ul>'; } else { echo 'OOPS we had a problem :('; } } else { // do nothing } } else { echo 'There should be no direct access to this script!'; } } ?> </code></pre> Thanks for all help!

1. COIt appears `$result->name` is populating an <li> but the other two values are coming back empty...there-by resulting an empty <li> elements. You should do a `var_dump` of `$result` to make sure those values are there.

Guidance

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.
