    <p>I have simple form with fields for First and Last name and a salutation. I have a javascript function that should validate if the fields or empty or exceed 25 characters. The function mostly works except on .focus(); the page just reloads. Not sure what I'm doing wrong, please advise. Thanks in advance.</p> <pre><code>function validate(){ //alert ("TEST!!!"); var first = document.getElementById('firstname').value; if (first.length == 0 || first.length &gt; 25){ alert ("Please enter your first name, no longer than 25 chracters."); document.getElementById('firstname').focus(); return false; } var last = document.getElementById('lastname').value; if (last.length == 0 || last.length &gt; 25){ alert ("Please enter your last name, no longer than 25 characters."); document.getElementsByName('lastname').focus(); return false; } var title = document.getElementById('title').value; if (document.getElementById('title').selectedIndex == 0){ alert ("Please select your salutation"); document.getElementById('title').focus(); return false; } return true; </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>In the html the form is: </p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="name" form id="name" method="post" onsubmit="validate();"&gt; Salutation: &lt;select name="title" select id="title"&gt; &lt;option selected="Please Select"&gt;Please select&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Mr."&gt;Mr.&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Mrs."&gt;Mrs.&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Miss"&gt;Miss&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; First Name : &lt;input type="text" input id="firstname" name="firstname"&gt; Last Name : &lt;input type="text" input id="lastname" name="lastname"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Submit"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

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.
