    <p>This is my whole html page</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt; text conversion&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function testResults(form) { var str = form.stringn.value; str.split(" "); document.write("testing1"); var length = str.length; var newn = ""; for(var i = 0; i&lt;length; i++) { if(str[i].charAt(str[i].length - 1) != ".") { str[i] = str[i] + "."; } str[i] = str[i] + " "; str[i].charAt(0) = str[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase(); newn = newn + str[i]; } document.write(newn); document.write("testing"); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form name="stringform" action="" method="get"&gt; Text: &lt;input type="text" name="stringn"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input type="button" name="Convert" Value="convert" onClick="testResults(this.form)"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>The html is being displayed correctly, but the button does not produce any action. I even tried document.write("testing") below the loop in the javascript, which had no effect, which makes me think the function is not being called at all. The idea of the function is to format the input string to capitalise the first letter of each word, and put a period after each word. </p> <p>This is my first time trying to use javascript, so possibly I'm doing something wrong that should be obvious? </p> <p>final solution:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt; text conversion&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function testResults(form) { var str = form.stringn.value; var strn = str.split(" "); var length = strn.length; var newn = ""; for(var i = 0; i&lt;length; i++) { if(strn[i].charAt(strn[i].length - 1) != ".") { strn[i] = strn[i] + "."; } strn[i] = strn[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + strn[i].slice(1); strn[i] = strn[i] + " "; newn = newn + strn[i]; } document.write(newn); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form name="stringform" action="" method="get"&gt; Text: &lt;input type="text" name="stringn"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;input type="button" name="Convert" Value="convert" onClick="testResults(this.form)"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COYou are also using ``new`` as a variable. New is a [reserved word](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Reserved_Words) in javascript. I would suggest running your code through [js hint](http://www.jshint.com/) or another linter to check for syntax errors.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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