    <p>I'm working with Rails 3.2.8 and am running jQuery v1.8.2. </p> <p>The following works:</p> <pre><code>$(window).load(function(){ alert('window load is working'); }); </code></pre> <p>But this does not work:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { alert('document ready is working'); }); </code></pre> <p>In fact, whenever I switch <code>$(document).ready()</code> with <code>$(window).load()</code> for any and all jQuery functions I am testing, they are fired. These include accordions, draggable elements... </p> <p>Here is my <strong>application.html.erb</strong> file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;&lt;%= full_title(yield(:title)) %&gt;&lt;/title&gt; &lt;%= stylesheet_link_tag "application", :media =&gt; "all" %&gt; &lt;%= javascript_include_tag "application" %&gt; &lt;%= csrf_meta_tags %&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body background="&lt;%= image_path(random_bg) %&gt;"&gt; &lt;%= render 'layouts/header' %&gt; &lt;div id="container"&gt; &lt;% flash.each do |key, value| %&gt; &lt;div class="alert alert-&lt;%= key %&gt;"&gt;&lt;%= value %&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;% end %&gt; &lt;%= yield %&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;%= render 'layouts/footer' %&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The resulting html...</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Derp&lt;/title&gt; *bunch of css files* &lt;script src="/assets/jquery.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/jquery_ujs.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/jquery-ui.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/collections.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/global.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/derp.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/sessions.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/static_pages.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/test.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/users.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="/assets/application.js?body=1" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; .... </code></pre> <p>I have also gone throw stackoverflow, searched the web neurotically, and tried all the solutions I could find:</p> <ul> <li>I have tried disabling local jQuery and using Google to host jQuery</li> <li>I have tried playing around with the placement of <code>javascript_include_tag</code> (moving it above stylesheets, moving it before )</li> <li>I tried including <code>$(document).ready()</code> inside <code>$(window).load()</code></li> </ul> <p>But <code>$(document).ready()</code> still does not fire... There are no problems in console (checked on Chrome, Safari, Firefox)</p> <p>A similar question was asked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6022357/why-does-window-load-work-but-not-document-ready">here</a>, but he never received an answer to his main question.</p> <p><strong>Why does jQuery only work when I replace <code>$(document).ready()</code> with <code>$(window).load()</code>?</strong></p>

    3. COI'd try removing all of those JS includes except the core jQuery.js and see if it works then. If so, add the others back one at a time until it breaks...

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).
