    <p>I'm beginning to learn how to use jQuery and am creating a small project management app. In the app you can drag employees from a list and drop them on to the different projects to assign them to it. </p> <p>Inside each project div is a ul that I would like the employees to be appended to. The problem at the moment is I can get the employees added tot he div but they add outside the ul. I have tried setting up a variable to grab the element id from the project div and assign it to a variable. That variable would then be concatenated in the appendTo() call to add the item to the right list. This where I am having the problem. The variable keeps returning as [object Object].</p> <p>Thanks for any help in advance. Here is a link to the <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/imauld/2VU5j/9/" rel="nofollow">JSFiddle</a> aswell.</p> <p>HTML</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul class='employee-list'&gt; &lt;li class='employee'&gt;Ian&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class='employee'&gt;Danny&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div id='task-list'&gt; &lt;div id="task-1234" class='task'&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Design new email&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul id="task-1234-employees" class='tasked-employees'&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id ="task-4321" class='task'&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Update Cart Code&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul id ="task-4321-employees" class='tasked-employees'&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Jscript</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { $(function () { var $taskID = $('.task').mouseover(function() {return this.id;}); $(".employee").draggable({ revert: 'invalid' }, { snap: '.task-slot', snapMode: 'inner' }, { appendTo: 'body', helper: 'clone' }); $('.task').droppable({ activeClass: "ui-state-default", hoverClass: "ui-state-hover", accept: ":not(.ui-sortable-helper)", drop: function (event, ui) { $(this).find(".placeholder").remove(); $("&lt;li class='task-slot'&gt;&lt;/li&gt;").text(ui.draggable.text()).appendTo("#" + $taskID +"-employees"); } }); }); }); </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.
