    <p>I'm pulling down two tables from the db. There's a Javascript function that adds a row from <code>Table2</code> into the <code>Table1</code>. What i've been trying to do is get the data from <code>Table1</code> on the <code>confirm_trade.php</code> page so I can put it into the db but can't figure out how to pull that row(<code>item_id</code>). I thought putting the table in a form would allow me to access them through the <code>$_POST</code> but that's not working. How to add an identifier to the jquery row so I can grab on the <code>confirm</code> page?</p> <p>The appended rows coming from the jQuery function are the rows I need the item_id from.</p> <pre><code>function addto(obj) { var $row = $(obj).parents("tr"); var $table = $("#tradee"); var item_id = $row.find(".item-id").text(); var item_name = $row.find(".item-name").text(); var item_desc = $row.find(".item-desc").text(); var newTR = $("&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;"+item_id+"&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;"+item_name+ "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;"+item_desc+"&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"); $table.append(newTR); } </code></pre> <p>Table2:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id='fixedDiv'&gt; &lt;form action="confirm.php" method="post"&gt; &lt;table align="center" id="Table2"&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Other Item&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php while($rowi =$item-&gt;fetch_assoc()) {?&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;?php echo $rowi['item_id']; ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;?php echo $rowi['item_name']; ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $rowi['item_description'];?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="Continue"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br&gt; </code></pre> <p>Table 1:</p> <pre><code> &lt;table align="center" id="Table1"&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;th&gt;item_id&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Cat_id&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Description&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php while($row =$item_results-&gt;fetch_assoc()) {?&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="item-id"&gt; &lt;?php echo $row['item_id']; ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;?php echo $cat_id = $row['cat_id']; ?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="item-name"&gt;&lt;?php echo $item_id = $row['item_name'];?&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td class="item-desc"&gt;&lt;?php echo $item_descrip = $row['item_description'];?&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="button" class="added" onclick="addto(this)" value="Add" /&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="button" class="removed" onclick="remove()" value="Remove" &gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;?php } ?&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre>

    1. CO**Don't give a submit button a name of "submit"**, it will mask the form's submit method (i.e. `form.submit()` will try to call the button, not the method). A submit button rarely needs a name (it might need one if you have two buttons and want to know which was used). In that case, use a name that isn't the same as a standard form property (e.g. `orderSubmit` or `querySubmit` or similar).

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).
