    <p>I am trying to read and write into text files using jQuery. I have already written the function to read a file; but I can't do is write into a file. I have 2 files, <code>read.txt</code> and <code>write.txt</code>, in the same folder as the code.</p> <p>The two jQuery functions (below, with surrounding server-side Perl code) are:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!-- language: perl --&gt; my $script = qq{ \$(document).ready(function() { \$("#readFile").click(function() { \$.get('read.txt', function(data) { \$("#container").val(data); }, 'text'); }); }); \$.ajax({ url: './test.pl', data: { 'myString' : "#cont" }, success: function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) { alert('string saved to file'); } }); }; my $q = new CGI; print $q-&gt;header; print $q-&gt;start_html( -title =&gt; "Read a File", -style =&gt; {-src =&gt; 'css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.css" rel="stylesheet'}, -script =&gt; [ {-src =&gt; 'js/jquery-1.9.1.js'}, {-src =&gt; 'js/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.js'}, ], ); print $q-&gt;start_form; print $q-&gt;textfield( -style =&gt; 'font-family:verdana;width:300px;font-size:13px', -id =&gt; 'container', -value =&gt; '', ); print $q-&gt;button( -id =&gt; 'readFile', -name =&gt; 'submit_form', -value =&gt; 'Read', ); print $q-&gt;textfield( -style =&gt; 'font-family:verdana;width:300px;font-size:13px', -id =&gt; 'cont', -value =&gt; '', ); print $q-&gt;submit( -id =&gt; 'writeFile', -name =&gt; 'submit_form', -value =&gt; 'Write', ); print $q-&gt;script($script); print $q-&gt;end_html; test.pl use CGI (); my $cgi = CGI-&gt;new; print $cgi-&gt;header; my $string = $cgi-&gt;param("myString"); open (FILE, "&gt;", "./write.txt") || die "Could not open: $!"; print FILE $string; close FILE; </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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
