    <h2>Problem</h2> <p>I'm trying to query a rest API in javascript and use jQuery to parse and insert the results into my webpage. When the query is made I believe it submits the search form and re-renders the page thus removing all of the elements I just queried and inserted.</p> <h3><em>Is there away to get a JSON object from a rest api and not re-render the webpage?</em></h3> <p>Here's what I'm using to make my requests: </p> <pre><code>function get_data(){ var url = "www.rest_api/search_term&amp;apikey=My_Key" var xmlHttp = null; xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlHttp.open( "GET", url, false ); xmlHttp.send( null ); return xmlHttp.responseText; } </code></pre> <p>The search term comes from a simple input form, and is submitted when the submit button is clicked. My goal is to keep this webpage to a single page and avoid a results page. </p> <h3>What I've tried</h3> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11718904/i-cant-return-my-json-object">I can&#39;t return my json object</a></p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9922101/get-json-data-from-external-url-and-display-a-particular-value-by-injecting-it-i">Get JSON data from external URL and display it in a div as plain text</a></p> <p><a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/</a></p> <p>Request URL example:</p> <p><a href="http://woof.magnify.net/api/content/find?vq=karma&amp;per_page=5&amp;page=1&amp;sort=popularity&amp;key=84LTHNZQ1364W14D&amp;format=json" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://woof.magnify.net/api/content/find?vq=karma&amp;per_page=5&amp;page=1&amp;sort=popularity&amp;key=84LTHNZQ1364W14D&amp;format=json</a></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.

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