    <p>A quiz form is completed by the user and the "Score Quiz" link is clicked. What is wanted is for the score to be tallied, results sent to server via jQuery ajax call, and the fancybox presenting the user notice.</p> <p>What is happening is the tally is done and the ajax call is initiated and the page reloads. If I comment out the ajax call, the fancybox appears as desired. Using Wordpress 3.4.2.</p> <p>What might be going on?</p> <pre><code> jQuery('#checkQuiz').click(function(){ var ajaxurl = '&lt;?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?&gt;'; // tally correct answers var quizData = tallyScore(); // display user notice jQuery('a#hiddenAnchor').trigger('click'); // store the data while the user is reading the results display jQuery.ajax({ type:"post", url:ajaxurl, data:quizData }); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>NOTE 1: I was able to catch an error in the Firebug console:</p> <pre><code>NS_ERROR_XPC_NOT_ENOUGH_ARGS: Not enough arguments [nsIDOMLocation.replace] </code></pre> <p>The file reported is jQuery.js and that appears to be a version 1.7.2. I noted that jQuery current release is 1.8.1. I wonder if that is part of the problem.</p> <p>NOTE 2: I forgot to mention that this code is part of page template in a child theme. Similar ajax calls made on other pages in the web app work fine. I added a post to the <a href="http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jquery-ajax-call-fails-on-ns_error_xpc_not_enough_args?replies=1" rel="nofollow">Wordpress.org troubleshooting forum</a> in case someone there doesn't visit stackoverflow.</p> <p>NOTE 3: I tested this with the standard theme for wordpress "twentyeleven". The same error occurred. I am running out of options to test.</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.
