    <p>I am using the jQuery (1.7.2) getScript() AJAX method to fetch an external (cross-domain) HTML page which contains embedded javascript. I am using the 'script' data type for the getScript() command because it has no cross-domain restrictions. In the browser's JS console, I use the following code which is equivalent to a getScript() request:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: url, // This url is for an HTML page with embedded JS - not for a JS file type: 'get', crossDomain: true, dataType: 'script', beforeSend: function(result) { result.setRequestHeader('Accept', '*/*') }, success: function(result) { console.log('SUCCESS:\t' + result) }, error: function(result) { console.log('ERROR') }, complete: function(result) { console.log('COMPLETE:\t' + result.responseText) } }) </code></pre> <p>This returns with 'success', but no result.</p> <pre><code>SUCCESS: undefined COMPLETE: undefined </code></pre> <p>The console also tells me that the content was interpreted as a script but transferred with MIME type text/html (I suppose this is because the url I'm using is for an HTML page). I know the entire HTML data was transferred to the client because I can access it using the browser JS console's network panel, and I can confirm that the correct number of KBs was indeed transferred.</p> <p>I'm not sure I'm concerned about the MIME message because I really just need to get my hands on the transferred content and do some parsing. How can I access this transferred content - which is somewhere on the client side - using jQ/JS? If I can't get to it, how is it that the browser console's network panel has access to it?</p>

    1. COWhy are you using `dataType: 'script'` for something which isn't a script?

    2. COBecause this dataType (and 'jsonp') are not subject to the "same-origin" restriction for get(). Also - in the browser JS console - this command actually retrieves the remote HTML content, with the embedded script that I need. I just don't know how to get to the transferred content.

    3. COBy the way, the same request with dataType: 'jsonp' returns with error, whereas the 'script' request returns with success.

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).
