    <p>I dont quite this syntax error I am having when it keeps saying else { in code below:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { var courseinfo = &lt;?php echo json_encode($courseInfo);?&gt; ; $('#coursesDrop').change(function () { var courseId = $(this).val(); /* You only need to do all of this if user selects a course, so check that first. */ if (courseId !== '') { /* Iterate over courses and, if the one we want exists, populate its info. */ for (var i = 0, l = courseinfo.length; i &lt; l; i++) { if (courseinfo[i].CourseId == courseId) { $('#currentDuration').val(courseinfo[i].Duration); $('#newDuration').val(courseinfo[i].Duration); $('#currentCourseId').val(courseinfo[i].CourseId); $('#newCourseId').val(courseinfo[i].CourseId); var text = $(this).find('option:selected').text(); var split = text.split(' - '); $('#currentCourseNo').val(split[0]); $('#currentCourseName').val(split[1]); /* Without this break, the loop will continue until i = l. We've already found our match, no need to continue. */ break; } } } else { $('#currentCourseNo,#currentCourseName,#currentDuration,#currentCourseId').val(''); } }); }); </code></pre> <p>Brackets seems correct but why am I getting this syntax error for the code above?</p> <p>The exact error says <code>Syntaxerror: syntax error</code> and then in the view page source it just higlights this <code>else{</code>.</p> <p><code>var courseinfo = &lt;?php echo json_encode($courseInfo);?&gt; ;</code> outputs this below in page source:</p> <pre><code>var courseinfo = [{"CourseId":1,"CourseNo":"INFO101","CourseName":"Bsc Information Communication Technology","Duration":"4"},{"CourseId":2,"CourseNo":"INFO102","CourseName":"Bsc Computing","Duration":"3\/4"},{"CourseId":8,"CourseNo":"INFO103","CourseName":"Business and Finance","Duration":"3"},{"CourseId":9,"CourseNo":"INFO107","CourseName":"Mathematics","Duration":"4"}]; </code></pre>

    3. COAlso, you should try to mimize the example by removing blocks of code until the syntax error disappears. This helps in finding where the error is.

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.
