    <p>This code takes 8 divs and races them across the screen depending on which time value the div was assigned. How can I have coded this better so my code doesn't look so amateurish?</p> <p>I know I should have used something other than a hard coded 8 in my for-loop but timeArray.length is unavailable since I am removing items from the array with splice.</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { var timeArray = new Array(3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10); var shortestTime = timeArray[7]; var fastestPony = {}; var index; var pony = { name: "pony", raceTime: -1, selected: "" }; //change the color of the pony when the user clicks on it $('.pony').bind('click', function() { $('.pony').removeClass('selectedPony'); $(this).addClass('selectedPony'); //get the pony that the user selected pony.selected = $(this); }); $('#startButton').click(function() { if (pony.selected == "") { alert("Please click the pony you think will win the race."); } else { for (i = 1; i &lt;= 8; i++) { //get a random number from the timeArray index = Math.floor(Math.random() * timeArray.length); pony.raceTime = timeArray[index]; //pull the random race time number out of the array //so it can't be assigned to another horse timeArray.splice(index, 1); //get the fastest pony if (pony.raceTime &lt; shortestTime) { shortestTime = pony.raceTime; fastestPony = $('#pony' + i); } //award the winner after the ponies have reached the finish line if (i == 8) { fastestPony.addClass('winner').append(' - Winner!'); } //send the horses on their way to race! $('#pony' + i).animate({left: '320px'}, pony.raceTime * 1000); } } }); //reset the ponies back to the starting line by reloading the page $('#resetButton').click(function() { document.location.reload(true); }); }); </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.
