<p>I have a jQuery UI button and I want to change its text dynamically. I've got no issue on Chrome and IE when I do this:</p> <pre><code>$('#myButton').find('span:first').text("myText"); </code></pre> <p>However, Firefox seems to handle buttons differently and doesn't find a span for my button. So when on Firefox, I do that instead:</p> <pre><code>$('#myButton').text("myText"); </code></pre> <p><strong>It works most of the times</strong>, but sometimes, somehow my button isn't ready when I try to change its text, or maybe there's another reason that prevents Firefox to load the button correctly and I end up with a button like this: <em>(I spare you the numerous attributes added by jQuery UI)</em></p> <pre><code><button id="myButton">myText</button> </code></pre> <p>instead of that:</p> <pre><code><button id="myButton"> <span class="ui-button-text">myText</span> </button> </code></pre> <p>and thus my button's styling goes wrong, just like in these threads: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11599721/jquery-ui-button-issue">Jquery UI button issue</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12180945/jquery-ui-changing-button-text-distorts-button-sizing">jQuery UI: changing button text distorts button sizing</a></p> <p>I have also tried this, following some advice found here:</p> <pre><code>$("#myButton).button('option', 'label', 'myText'); </code></pre> <p>but I get an error saying I can't call button methods prior to initialization.</p> <p>It's infuriating since Chrome and IE handle this perfectly every time. Is there a way to get a consistent behaviour ?</p> <p>Thank you.</p>

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.
