<p>I am struggling with displaying validation messages on my webpage. I have a javascript function which does client side validation and highlights the fields with invalid values. Besides highlighting the fields, I want to display a message on my webpage which I dont know how to do.</p> <p>Here is my javascript function:</p> <pre><code>$(function () { $("#Save").click(Validate); }); function Validate() { var invalidValues = []; var validValues = []; var Code = $("#Code").val(); var Description = $("#Description").val(); var Status = $("#Status ").val(); var requiredFields = { '#Code' : Code, '#Description' : Description, '#Status ' : Status }; $.each(requiredFields, function (key, value) { if (value.length == 0) { invalidValues.push(key); } else { validValues.push(key); } }); var invalidFields = invalidValues.toString(); var validFields = validValues.toString(); if (invalidValues.length > 0){ $(invalidFields).addClass("highlighted"); $(validFields).removeClass("highlighted"); return false; } $(validFields).removeClass("highlighted"); } </code></pre> <p>Here is my webpage:</p> <pre><code><div> <table> <tr> <th> Code </th> <td> <input maxlength="4" id="Code" type="text"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <th> Description </th> <td> <input id="Description" type="text"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <th> Status </th> <td> <input id="Status" type="text"/> </td> </tr> <tr> <th> </th> <td> <button id="Save" type="button">Save</button> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </code></pre> <p>I want to display a message at the bottom of my webpage saying "Please enter valid values for: Code". I store invalid values in a variable "invalidValues "in my js function "Validate" How can I access those values in my webpage?</p> <p>I also have a few questions about what is the best way of doing validations? Client side vs server side? also, is it better to display a pop-up validation message or a highlighted message embedded on webpage?</p>

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.
