However, when I ok the JS alert it takes me back to the mail.php script and not the HTML page in which it originated from how would I rectify this ? </p>

    1. COIf you just want to go back once, try appending `window.history.back()` after your alert code.

    3. COUse AJAX... your user will never leave the page... and you should be handling the alerts in the same js script that calls the AJAX, not the PHP file.

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).
