    <p>I wonder is it possible to keep the user input inside form field after form submitted, so that the user can update the entry. I've a html registration form [with some JS validation], then a php file to insert data to sql &amp; meanwhile display back the inserted data in a table view. i also include the form's html code in php file so i can see the form after being submitted. but i couldn't keep the data in the field after form submitted! here is the form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; &lt;!-- function validateNum(evt) { var theEvent = evt; var key = theEvent.keyCode || theEvent.which; key = String.fromCharCode( key ); var regex = /[0-9]/; if( !regex.test(key) ) { theEvent.returnValue = false; if(theEvent.preventDefault) theEvent.preventDefault(); } } function validate(evt){ if( document.myForm.ic.value == ""){ alert( "IC Number cann't be empty!" ); document.myForm.ic.focus() ; return false;} else if(isNaN( document.myForm.ic.value ) || document.myForm.ic.value.length != 12){ evt.preventDefault(); alert( "Please provide your correct IC Number!" ); document.myForm.ic.focus() ; return false;} if( document.myForm.name.value == "") { alert( "Name cann't be empty!" ); document.myForm.name.focus() ; return false; } if( document.myForm.contact.value == ""){ alert( "Contact number cann't be empty!"); document.myForm.contact.focus() ; return false; } else if(isNaN( document.myForm.contact.value )) { evt.preventDefault(); alert( "Please provide your correct Contact Number!" ); document.myForm.contact.focus() ; return false; } if( document.myForm.address.value == "" ){ alert( "Please provide your Address!" ); document.myForm.address.focus() ; return false; } } //--&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; h2 { color: #06C; } body { background-color: #FFC; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form name="myForm" method="post" action="insert.php" onsubmit="return(validate(event));"&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;table width="453" border="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th colspan="4" bgcolor="#99FFFF" scope="col"&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Workshop Name: PHP!

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.
