    <p>I have a form on my Jquery Mobile page where the user can insert a start-location and a destination. </p> <p>These values will be saved inside the localstorage. Now I'm trying to manipulate the input like this: </p> <p>when you type (for instance) 'current' in the input-box, the user's location will be placed inside the localstorage-database instead of the word 'current'. </p> <p>I already made this script to get the user's location:</p> <pre><code>var geocoder; if (navigator.geolocation) { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successFunction, errorFunction); } //Get the latitude and the longitude; function successFunction(position) { var lat = position.coords.latitude; var lng = position.coords.longitude; codeLatLng(lat, lng) } function errorFunction(){ alert("Geocoder failed"); } function initialize() { geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); } function codeLatLng(lat, lng) { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng); geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) { if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { console.log(results) if (results[1]) { //formatted address document.getElementById('formatedAddress').innerHTML = results[0].formatted_address; //find country name for (var i=0; i&lt;results[0].address_components.length; i++) { for (var b=0;b&lt;results[0].address_components[i].types.length;b++) { //there are different types that might hold a city admin_area_lvl_1 usually does in come cases looking for sublocality type will be more appropriate if (results[0].address_components[i].types[b] == "administrative_area_level_1") { //this is the object you are looking for city= results[0].address_components[i]; break; } } } } } } ); } </code></pre> <p>The 2 input fields:</p> <pre><code>&lt;label for="start"&gt;Startlocation:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="start" value="" id="start"/&gt; &lt;label for="destination"&gt;Destination:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="destination" value="" id="destination"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm very new to javascript and jQuery and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem. I hope someone could help me. Thanks!</p>

    3. COWhat do you mean with manipulate input? Have you tried `$('input').val('foo')` to set value and `$('input').val()` to get value. Also attach some HTML code to your example. The best would definitely be a jsfiddle.

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.

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