    <p>I have tried to document this as well as I can in the code.</p> <p>Getting a weird looping thing when I try to delete an item that I've added.</p> <p>Example:</p> <p>I have 3 items that I've added:</p> <ul> <li><p>When I try to delete the very first item in the list...I get the confirm Delete dialog 3 times</p></li> <li><p>Deleting the second item in the list...I get the confirm 2 times.</p></li> <li><p>And yep...you guessed it..that last one gives it to me only once.</p></li> </ul> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Anyway, here's the commented jQuery code (it's a big one):</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { //hides the message/error console $("#console").hide(); //this is the add new button functionality $("#save").click(function(){ var ul = $("ul.addul"); var addM = $(".mo").val(); var addY = $(".yr").val(); var addC = $(".ct").val(); var addT = $("textarea#addThoughts").val(); //submit the add $.post("save.php", { month : addM, year : addY, cottage : addC, thoughts : addT }, function(data){ //all good if(data.success) { //returns the item's respective id from db var returnID = data.id; //resets the form after items inserted into db document.getElementById('items').reset(); //this puts the added item into the html $(".added").append(//content in here removed to shorten the example); //not implemented yet $(".edit").click(function(){ $(this).parent().siblings("li.addit").hide(); $(this).parent().siblings("li").children("[name=month], [name=year], [name=cottage], [name=thoughts]").show(); $(this).parent().siblings("li").children(".showDataMonth, .showDataYear, .showDataCottage, .showDataThoughts").hide(); $(this).siblings(".del").hide(); $(this).siblings(".cancel, .save").show(); $(this).hide(); }); //this is functioning properly; this cancels an update $("button.cancel").click(function(){ $(this).parent().siblings("li.addit").show(); $(this).parent().siblings("li").children("[name=month], [name=year], [name=cottage], [name=thoughts]").hide(); $(this).parent().siblings("li").children(".showDataMonth, .showDataYear, .showDataCottage, .showDataThoughts").show(); $(this).siblings(".edit, .del").show(); $(this).siblings(".save").hide(); $(this).hide(); }); //resetting of values to prepare another entry $(".save, .cancel, .month, .year, .cottage, .thoughts").hide(); $(".showDataThoughts").css({ width : "160px;"}); $(".mo, .yr, .ct").val("0"); //shows successful insert of data into db $("#console").html(data.message).css({background: "green", color: "white"}).fadeIn().animate({ opacity : "+=0" }, 2000).fadeOut(); //this is the delete function that I am referring to. //I get the "confirm" dialog just fine. //say I have 3 entries: //if I try to delete the first entry...I get the confirm delete dialog 3 times. //if I try to delete the second entry...I get the confirm delete dialog 2 times. //and the 3rd entry...I only get it once. //I'm stuck in a weird kinda loop. $(".del").click(function(){ var del = this; var thisVal = $(del).val(); $.post("delete.php", { dirID : thisVal }, function(data){ if(confirm("Are you sure you want to DELETE this entry?") == true) { if(data.success) { alert(thisVal); } } return false; }, "json"); }); } else if(data.error) { //item could not be added $("#console").html(data.message).css({background: "red", color: "white"}).fadeIn().animate({ opacity : "+=0" }, 2000).fadeOut(); } }, "json"); return false; }); //end of add button //this populates the select boxes $.getJSON('dates_in_residence.php', function(data){ var htmlMonth = ''; var htmlYear = ''; var htmlCottage = ''; var len = data.length; for (var i = 0; i &lt; 12; i++) {htmlMonth += '&lt;option class="optionMonth" value="' + data[i].month + '"&gt;' + data[i].month + '&lt;/option&gt;'; } $('select#addMonth').append(htmlMonth); for (var i = 12;

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).
