    <p>I'm having a problem with jQuery when using it within a selfdefined function.</p> <p>When I'm starting my jQuery right from my .html like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/MyJS.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>MyJS:</p> <pre><code>$.getJSON('MyFilePath', function(data) { var items = []; $.each(data, function(key, val) { //Doing things with my data. }); }); </code></pre> <p>it works fine and returns me my file. (I'm using plain text file with a json structure).</p> <p>But when I'm trying to start it from a function e.g.:</p> <pre><code>function getAllDepts() { $.getJSON('MyFilePath', function(data) { var items = []; $.each(data, function(key, val) { //Doing things with my data. }); }); } </code></pre> <p>it won't work. It seems like he's not able to load my file but I just don't get why.</p> <p>With:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: "MyFilePath", success: function(data){ console.log(data); }, error: function(data){ alert(error); } }); </code></pre> <p>I'd be still able to get my data but I just want to know why getJSON doesn't work. I read that getJSON has its problems with loading local files but I'm not sure if it applies to my problem.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>@comments: </p> <ul> <li>Yes I'm calling the function through an onclick:"getDepts()" in my .hmtl and it gets called correctly.</li> <li>The return value is one step ahead because the getJSON is not working correctly. It's not a problem mit jQuery thought, since when debugging with Firebug(Firefox) the method gets called. The main problem seems to be he's not able to load the file.</li> <li>My data file is an .txt. with json structure. (I checked my json structure with <a href="http://jsonlint.com/" rel="nofollow">http://jsonlint.com/</a> and it said its okay) </li> <li>There's no error like 404 since the files are stored locally and no errors show up while using firebug.</li> <li>I created the syntax error while editing this post. Fixed the braces.</li> </ul>

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).
