    <p>I have two functions: One the validates the information in name fields of a form, and another that takes the information in those fields and prints them out in an alert box. Separately these functions work fine. I have to call them both, so I created a wrapper function. The function runs, but it refreshes instead of focusing. The weird thing is, if I check the first field, everything is fine, including the .focus();, but when I try to validate the second field, .focus(); doesn't work and the page refreshes. Any help would be appreciated. (I tried to revise my first question to add this, but when I went to save it, nothing happend.)</p> <pre><code>function main() { var test = validate(); if (test == true) { concatinate(); return true; } } 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; } function concatinate() { var first = document.getElementById('firstname').value; var last = document.getElementById('lastname').value; var title = document.getElementById('title').value; var fullname = title + " " + first + " " + last; var printFull = "Welcome, " + fullname; alert(printFull); } &lt;form name="name" form id="name" method="post" onsubmit="return main();"&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>

    3. COWhere is that code in your HTML? Is it inside another function, `window.onload = function(){ ... }`, maybe?

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.
