    <p>I have written code that creates boxes based on user input in a form. I use a constructor function to give the boxes these values; name, color, id and number. I am supposed to make it so that when the user clicks on the box in the page, an alert box comes up that says what those values are for that individual box. I'm having trouble figuring out how to display most of those properties correctly. </p> <p>Here is the function where I assign property values to the boxes, and also add them to the page:</p> <pre><code>function addBox(newbox) { for (var i = 0; i &lt; newbox.number; i++) { counter++; var scene = document.getElementById("scene"); var div = document.createElement("div"); div.setAttribute("id", counter); div.className += " " + "box"; div.innerHTML += newbox.name; div.style.backgroundColor = newbox.color; var x = Math.floor(Math.random() * (scene.offsetWidth-101)); var y = Math.floor(Math.random() * (scene.offsetHeight-101)); div.style.left = x + "px"; div.style.top = y + "px"; scene.appendChild(div); div.onclick = display; } } </code></pre> <p>Here is the function I have for displaying the info about the boxes:</p> <pre><code>function display(e) { var a = e.target.attributes; var b = e.target; console.log(b.name); //shows "undefined" alert("id:" + "" + a[0].value); } </code></pre> <p>My alert message works correctly, it shows an individual number for each box, based on the value of the counter. I don't understand why I can't get e.target to work to show name, color or number. I am a beginner, so any thoughts are much appreciated. </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.
