    <p>I have a small search form that can perform two types of searches:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form id="form-navbar-search" class="navbar-search pull-left" action="index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.output" method="post"&gt; &lt;div class="input-append"&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="header_search_criteria" title="Criteria to search" placeholder="search" class="search-query span9" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="quick" value="Quick" title="Search on task ID or task name" class="btn btn-inverse" /&gt; &lt;a href="index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.home" id="navbar-search-full" title="Start a full search" class="btn btn-inverse" /&gt;Full&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <ol> <li>If the "Quick" submit button is pressed, the form submits to the default action attribute (<code>index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.output</code>). This works.</li> <li>If the "Full" button (it's really an <code>a</code> that I'm styling as a button using Bootstrap) is pressed, I want to prevent the link from opening a new page, change the form's action to <code>index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.home</code>, then submit the form. I have written this jQuery to do so:</li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p> <pre><code>$('#navbar-search-full').click( function(event) { event.preventDefault(); //don't let the link open a new page $('#form-navbar-search').attr('action', $(this).attr('href')).submit(); //instead, change the search form action, then submit it }) .attr('href','#navbar-search-full'); </code></pre> <p>As <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/jhfrench/cgcDy/" rel="nofollow">you can see in this JSFiddle</a>, the preventDefault() doesn't seem to intercept the link action. <strong>What adjustments do I need to make to get this right?</strong></p>

    1. COI see a different problem: you're changing the href of `#navbar-search-full` *before* the click handler can be triggered.

    2. COHmm...so the last line of the JS sets the href of the link to `#navbar-search-full`, then that `#navbar-search-full` href is getting set as the form's action?

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).
