    <p>Due to one agent wanting his website url on the functionality that I worked on a month ago I ended up having to make some minor changes. I have two function PHP pages that run a very similar script but I had to make two based of two value sets. What they echo onto the page with AJAX is exactly the same and this is where it gets a little weird...</p> <p>The first script I did was successful but I needed to make a <code>if elseif else</code> statement so everyone agent didn't have a link that went no where. After fiddling around with this statement I was able to get just the one agent to have his website URL on there. Once I had that done I was under the impression that it would be smoothing sailing from there..it was not... </p> <p>I used the exact same statement for both of their scripts and only one works. The only thing that differs from them is what value it is receiving and that I use JavaScript + AJAX for the first one (Which works) and then decided to learn jQuery + AJAX to do the next one. Before this they all worked and it is the exact code for both besides the use of JavaScript/jQuery (which is the same language) and one uses <code>GET</code> while the other uses <code>POST</code></p> <p>I also get no errors or anything while the function is running. The agent's name is Sam Fiorentino that is the only one with a website url. <strong>I went into the console for the second search, the radio buttons, and it shows the company name outside of the anchor tag which is the root of the problem.</strong> Why would one display it correctly while the other doesn't?</p> <p><strong>First PHP</strong> (Works)</p> <pre><code>while ($stmt-&gt;fetch()) { // Gets results from the database echo "&lt;div class='agentcon'&gt;" . "&lt;span class='agentn'&gt;" . "&lt;strong&gt;". $First_Name . "&amp;nbsp;" . $Last_Name . "&amp;nbsp;" . $Suffix . "&lt;/strong&gt;" . "&lt;/span&gt;" . "&lt;a href=mailto:".$Email . "&gt;" . "&lt;span class='email'&gt;" . "Send an e-mail to" . "&amp;nbsp;" . $First_Name . "&lt;/span&gt;" . "&lt;/a&gt;" ."&lt;div class='floathr'&gt;&lt;/div&gt;"; if ($Company == NULL) { echo "&lt;p&gt;"; } elseif ($Website == NULL) { echo "&lt;p&gt;" . "&lt;strong&gt;" .$Company . "&lt;/strong&gt;" . "&lt;br&gt;"; } else { echo "&lt;p&gt;" . "&lt;strong&gt;" . "&lt;a target='blank' href=" .$Website . "&gt;" .$Company . "&lt;/a&gt;" . "&lt;/strong&gt;" . "&lt;br&gt;"; } </code></pre> <p><strong>Second PHP</strong> (Doesn't Work)</p> <pre><code>while ($stmt-&gt;fetch()) { // Gets results from the database echo "&lt;div class='agentcon'&gt;" . "&lt;span class='agentn'&gt;" . "&lt;strong&gt;".$First_Name . "&amp;nbsp;" .$Last_Name . "&amp;nbsp;" . $Suffix . "&lt;/strong&gt;" . "&lt;/span&gt;" . "&lt;a href=mailto:".$Email . "&gt;" .

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.
