    <p>Instead of using a multiselect box that is pre-populated use <a href="http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/" rel="nofollow">jQueryUI Autocomplete</a> to filter the list server side and only return matches to the client (similar to the way the tag selection works on StackOverflow).</p> <p>There is a good example of selecting multiple values here <a href="http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#multiple-remote" rel="nofollow">http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#multiple-remote</a></p> <p>You can then save the results of the selections in the same way you would process a multiselect.</p> <p>To implement a hybrid approach where the first letter fetches terms from the server and then afterwards filters from those results, you could use the following (please note that this is completely untested):</p> <p>Add a global var to hold your results</p> <pre><code>var results_cache = []; </code></pre> <p>Use a hybrid source in your <code>autocomplete</code></p> <pre><code>source: function( request, response ) { // get the first letter of your search term var letter = request.term.substring(0,1); // check to see if we already have results for this letter if (!results_cache[letter]){ // no results, fetch via AJAX $.getJSON( "search.php", { term: request.term }, function(data){ // cache results results_cache[letter] = data; // filter results (in case we have more than just 1 character in the term) response($.ui.autocomplete.filter(data, request.term)); } ); } else { // we already have data for this letter, just filter the results from the cache response($.ui.autocomplete.filter(results_cache[letter], request.term)); } }, search: function() { // make sure we have at least 1 character for the term if (!this.value) return; var term = this.value; }, </code></pre>

    1. COAre you sure jQueryUI Autocomplete filters server side? What has lead you to believe that?

    2. CO@DougieBear I meant to use an AJAX `source:` to load your data, which can then be filtered server side. I have implemented this in the past.

    3. COOk, i just checked, there is a multiple values selection autocomplete option also. pretty cool, but isn't the multi-select option mentioned earlier better, where with just one ajax search for the first letter entered, we can get the pre-populated list and then add as amany values from the result in a single click rather than entering each of them separately. It would be faster.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
