    <p>Consider the code below. If <code>myField1</code> does NOT equal <code>myField2</code>, then the alert appears. When I click okay on the alert pop up my form is still there, with all of the fields still populated with the data I had previously entered. However, when I modify the fields so that <code>myField1</code> DOES equal <code>myField2</code>, and then submit the form it is actually submitted TWICE! Why is this?</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){ $("#myForm").submit(function() { var myField1 = $('#myID1).val(); var myField2 = $('#myID2).val(); if(myField1 == myField2) { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: 'myFile.php', dataType: 'html', data: {myData:myField1, myData2:myField2}, success: function(data){ alert(data); } }); return false; } else { alert('These two fields are not equal!) } }); }); </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.
