    <p>I have this situation with a device accessing a simple MySQL database using PHP. When I do a search, the results are written in an HTML file.</p> <p>I have a second device (very basic android tablet) that has this HTML file opened. Using live.js it refreshes when it's contents change. What I need is this: a static message saying something like "Waiting for search results" and only when the contents of the page change the results are shown...</p> <p>Something like this: On the tablet load 1.html (waiting for search results). When contents of page 2.html change (there was a search query), display that (2.html). After a push of a button (user input), let's go back to 1.html and wait for the contents of page 2.html to change again.</p> <p>With live.js alone I can only watch for the file that's currently open...</p> <p>Any idea on how I can achieve this? Thanks a bunch.</p> <p><strong>[EDIT - SOLVED]</strong> I got this to work like this: when the user of the tablet pushes a button it runs a PHP script that replaces the contents of the file (the previous search results) with the "waiting for results" text. Of course, it has live.js in the head, and when a new search occurs, the page reloads with the new search results.</p> <p>It was easier than I thought I was overthinking it.</p> <p>The PHP script:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php ob_start(); $myFile = 'ana.html'; unlink($myFile); $fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die ("can't open file"); $stringData = '&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Rezultatele cautarii&lt;/title&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"&gt; &lt;script src="live.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;h1 class="button"&gt;Asteptam cererea&lt;/h1&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;'; fwrite($fh, $stringData); fclose($fh); header('Location: '.$myFile); die(); ?&gt; </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.
