    <p>SOLVED: Stray <code>}</code> within the Javascript. Eclipse IDE doesn't check these when in a JSP.</p> <p>I'm having trouble getting my Javascript functions to be called in my JSP. I have commented above which functions are working and not working. My goal is to have my dropdown boxes to be preselected based on a passed parameter.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; //this alert not working alert('alert1'); function preloadDropdownBoxes() { //preload function alert not calling alert('preload function called'); //mapping vars to java variables var sYear = '&lt;%=sYear%&gt;'; var collectionPeriod = '&lt;%=collectionPeriod%&gt;'; var submission = '&lt;%=submission%&gt;'; var availDate = '&lt;%=availDate%&gt;'; var openDate = '&lt;%=openDate%&gt;'; var closeDate = '&lt;%=closeDate%&gt;'; //these are time generated values based on calendar instance var pastTwoYear = '&lt;%=pastTwoYear%&gt;'; var pastYear = '&lt;%=pastYear%&gt;'; var currentYear = '&lt;%=currentYear%&gt;'; var futureYear = '&lt;%=futureYear%&gt;'; //change selectedIndex values if dropdown in JSP has "pastTwoYear" if (sYear == pastTwoYear) { document.getElementById('pastTwoYear').selectedIndex = 0; } else if (sYear == pastYear) { document.getElementById('past').selectedIndex = 0; alert(sYear + '0'); } else if (sYear == currentYear) { document.getElementById('current').selectedIndex = 1; alert(sYear + '1'); } else if (sYear == futureYear) { document.getElementById('future').selectedIndex = 2; alert(sYear + '2'); } else if(sYear == futureTwoYear) { document.getElementById('futureTwoYear').selectedIndex = 3; alert(sYear + '3'); } } //end preLoadDropdownBoxes() &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>I then have code for my dropdown boxes. Here is a snippet:</p> <pre><code>&lt;select name="sYear1" id="sYear1" onchange="javascript:PreselectMyItem();"&gt; &lt;option value="past"&gt;&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)-2%&gt;-&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)-1%&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="current"&gt;&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)-1%&gt;-&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)%&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="future"&gt;&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)%&gt;-&lt;%=cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR)+1%&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now, finally, I have another script on the bottom. I plan on putting my <code>preloadDropdownBoxes();</code> function at the end. I tried used <code>$(document).ready</code> but it wasn't working. Code is as follows:</p> <pre><code> &lt;script&gt; // these two alert calls work alert('footer'); alert('footer next'); // these functions aren't being called window.preloadDropdownBoxes(); document.getElementById('future').selectedIndex = 2; window.alert('document ready on bottom'); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Edit: I've made my Test button as follows <code>&lt;input type="button" value="test" onclick="javascript:alert('test');"/&gt;</code> and this alert does work. There seems to be something wrong with the document not being able to register the functions in my script up top because I tried function test() { alert('hello'); } But the above snippet function isn't called when the button is: <code>&lt;input type="button" value="test" onclick="javascript:test();"/&gt;</code> </p>

    3. CO@xiaowl No errors are on the browser console. @vector I am able to get the parameter values from the previous page, I'm just wondering why my alert functions aren't being called in certain locatins. Maybe I'm calling my functions incorrectly? I even added a Test button: `<input type="button" value="test" onclick="javascript:preloadDropdownBoxes();"/>` And the test button isn't working either. I even threw in an alert in the button.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
