    <p>Ok, so I am relatively new to php, javascript, and jquery. Here is what I have going.</p> <p>I have a table that is created when the page opens that is filled up using a for from a database query (just a simple <code>select *</code>). The problem right now is the final <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> is a dropdown menu that the use can change (changing the item from viewed to unviewed and back). So, what i want to do is when the user selects either value in the drop down menu, i want to get the second column value (the ID value in my database) of that row and update the viewed status. My problem is I am not sure how to use JQuery to get the ID value into my update statement for the database. Here is what I have so far:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script language="Javascript"&gt; //cache the select and span elements var table = document.getElementById('leads'); var mySelect = document.getElementById("mySelect"); //when it changes mySelect.onchange = function() { var row = this.parentNode.parentNode; //change the tag innerHTML checking the selected value of the select if (mySelect == "1") { var id = table.rows[row.rowIndex].cells[1].innerHTML; //HOW DO I GET THIS ID INTO A SELECT STATEMENT THAT CAN EXECUTED BY A PHP FUNCTION } } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>EDIT: Here is an attempt so far... Inside my if statement I added the following line:</p> <pre><code>$.get("updateToNew.php", {lid: id}); </code></pre> <p>and here is the php (you can assume the connection to the database and everything is correct inside this file):</p> <pre><code>$query = mysql_query("UPDATE myTable SET new=1 WHERE ID=".$_GET['lid']) or die(mysql_error()); </code></pre> <p>This does not throw any errors, but does not update the database. Also, I noticed as I was troubleshooting that the script only runs the first time the drop down menu is changed, any time after that it does nothing.</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.
