    <p>I want to create a small database, or collection, of items - only about 30 - you can search with JavaScript alone.</p> <p>For example - let's say I have 20 houses to rent and I want students to be able to search for them houses with 4 or 5 rooms. </p> <p>I can create the house objects like this:</p> <pre><code>function house(address, rooms, bathrooms){ this.address=address; this.rooms=rooms; this.bathrooms=bathrooms; } var property1 = new house("10 Park Way","4","1"); var property2 = new house("61 Park Avenue", "5","2"); var property3 = new house("585 Park Road", "3", "1"); </code></pre> <p>I want to be able to search this list by "rooms" and display the address, number of rooms and number of bathrooms.</p> <p>NB: I know the way I've written it isn't an Array but I will use an Array so I can use a for loop to cycle through the properties and evaluate them in the following way:</p> <pre><code>if(property[i].rooms == roomquery){ document.write('Address:' + property[i].address + '.&lt;p&gt;'); document.write('Address:' + property[i].rooms + '.&lt;p&gt;'); document.write('Address:' + property[i].bathrooms + '.&lt;p&gt;'); } </code></pre> <p>Simple eh?</p> <p>Except I don't know how to pass the roomquery variable from my form to my script.</p> <p>The order of the process is: Search Page -> Results Page -> Details Page</p> <p>The user searches and gets a list of results. There is the option to view the property in more detail on the result page, passing the data from the results to page to be reformatted on a details page. Of course there will be much more data about each property in the Array and I can give this data to the id or value properties of invisible tags for collection and resubmission to a script on the details page.</p> <p>I know I can do this with PHP, and I know I could do this by sending the roomquery variable to a script on the same page and making the changes on the Search Page.</p> <p>But what I want to do is send the data, which is just a single number, to a script on the Results Page using GET, or any other method, because that way I can run the search from any page that will send to the Search Page.</p> <p>I've searched the internet for this and I'm not coming up with anything. There must be a way.</p>

    1. COIt's unclear what you're asking. Are you just trying to search a javascript array of houses given a search query in a text box?

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).
