    <p>I'm pretty new to HTML and trying to figure the following error: I'm using netbeans (7.4) and I am trying to make a Web project with Servlets. When I use the defaults that we are instructed to use (yes it's a homework assignment, but my issue is ancillary to the actual assignment, so I don't think I'm trying to cheat here), Java 5 EE, it creates index.jsp. If I write HTML in that .jsp file, such as</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Foo&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;form action="http://localhost:8084/MyProject/MyClass" method=GET&gt; How many Foos and Bars? &lt;select name="Foo"&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;select name="Bar"&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;1&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="2"&gt;2&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>it works perfectly fine. However, we are told to use .html files instead of .jsp files, and when I copy this file over (from a .jsp to a .html), without the following line (which causes it's own error if included)</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@page contentType="text/html" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%&gt; </code></pre> <p>then Netbeans tells me:</p> <pre><code>"Text not allowed in element 'form' in this context" </code></pre> <p>So how do I get text in-between some of my form-fields, when it is an HTML document, not a .jsp?</p>

    2. COAlso try enclosing your text in `<p>` tags. JSP doesn't like free-floating text, and `form` is a container for form elements, not text per se.

    3. CO**sigh**. Eventually I will learn things, I swear. <p>How many foos and bars</p> no longer errors; if you elevate to an answer, @chrylis, I'll accept. Note for the record though, free-floating text works fine in the .jsp, but not in the .html; your phrasing suggest the other way around.

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.
