    <p><strong>EDIT</strong> <br> Here is an attempt to make my question simpler.</p> <pre><code>return this.someFunc(); == return { XXX:this.someFunc() }; </code></pre> <p><strong>What do I have to put in for XXX to make this statement true?</strong> <hr> I'm trying to create a function that can be chained. Let me write some hypothetical code. (Any syntax errors just ignore, I'm typing this fast and this is just concept code.) Assume that all functions are either defined locally or globally. :)</p> <pre><code>test = function(){ this.someFunc = function(){ this.retest = function(){ //...code } //...code } this.someFunc2 = function(){ //...code } return this.someFunc(); } </code></pre> <p>This function allows me to chain: <code>test().retest();</code> <br> But what I want to do is return more than one item.</p> <pre><code>test = function(){ this.someFunc = function(){ this.retest = function(){ //...code } //...code } this.someFunc2 = function(){ //...code } return { XXX:this.someFunc(), //What do I put for XXX next:this }; } </code></pre> <p>I want to do this to access another function that test() offers: <code>test().next.someFunc2();</code> <br></p> <p><strong>So my problem is this:</strong> <br> I still want to be able to chain like this: <code>test().retest();</code> <br> But I have to do it like this: <code>test().XXX.retest();</code> <br><br> In my code, what is the name that I can put instead of XXX to accomplish this? And is this even possible? I have tried <code>0</code> and <code>default</code> already. Thanks for the help.</p>

    1. COYour first function does not let you write `test().retest()` unless "retest" is a global function.

    3. COthe problem is that `this` will, if you just call `test()`, be a reference to `window`.

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.
