    <p>I'm pulling my hair out over this one - I have a page that searches a MySQL database and returns the results in a table. I want the user to be able to update the results and hence update the MySQL database. The first part works ok, I have a search box on the page, which uses jQuery/ajax to query the database and display the results, e.g.:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form class="well" id="jquery-submit-ajax" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="userSearch" placeholder="Search…"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Name/Email/id&lt;/label&gt; &lt;Br /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" id="searchButton" value="Search"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;div class="alert alert-success hide"&gt; &lt;div id="success-output" class="prettyprint"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="loading-image" class="alert hide" style="text-align:center"&gt; &lt;img src="../images/ajax-loader.gif" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="alert alert-error hide"&gt; &lt;div id="error-output" class="prettyprint"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>and the jQuery:</p> <pre><code>$("#jquery-submit-ajax").submit(function(e) { $('#loading-image').fadeIn(); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "jquery-ajax-control.php", data: $(e.target).serialize(), dataType: "html", beforeSend:function(){ $('.alert-error,.alert-success').hide(); }, error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){ $('#loading-image').hide(); $('.alert-error').fadeIn(); $('#error-output').html(errorThrown); }, success: function(data){ $('#loading-image').hide(); $('.alert-success').fadeIn(); $('#success-output').html(data); } }); return false; }); </code></pre> <p>So the results are parsed into a table for each result. Within that table is a form with a submit button. e.g.:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form method="post"&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="text" class="editbox" name="subs-expiry" value="&lt;?php echo $expiry_date; ?&gt;"&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;input type="submit" class="updateSubsButtons" value="Update" /&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm trying to submit this form via jQuery/Ajax again, but I can't get it to work. Pressing the Update button results in the whole page refreshing. I've stripped the jQuery for this button right back to just display an alert when the button is pressed, but even that doesn't work.</p> <pre><code>$(".updateSubsButtons").on("submit", function(e){ alert("clicked"); e.preventDefault(); }); </code></pre> <p>Using the Chrome debugger a breakpoint in the function never gets hit, so maybe jQuery can't find the button? I've tried .on() and .live() functions, but I get the same result with both. I really can't figure out what's going on here, so any help would be gratefully received!</p>

    1. COHave you tried using `.on('click', ...)` instead of `.on('submit', ...)` to prevent the page submit? If the input is dynamically added try `$(document).on('submit', '.updateSubsButtons', function() {})` and `$(document).on('click', '.updateSubsButtons', function() {})`

    2. COpossibly failing because $("#jquery-submit-ajax").submit( is running without a __preventDefault__ before moving on to $(".updateSubsButtons").on("submit"... ?

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.
