    <p>I have a login form that, when completed, sends users to a page with a JavaScript generated URL (allowing me to pass a JavaScript variable to my PHP script using $_GET). However, in order to do that, the Login button is currently 'type="button"'. While everything works, it means that users cannot login by hitting Enter; they must actually click the Login button. Is there a way I can "Submit" the form, while still having it point to the JavaScript generated URL?</p> <p>This seems like a pretty basic concept, which tells me I might be approaching it the wrong way to begin with. Any guidance is appreciated.</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="login"&gt; Username: &lt;input type="text" name="user_id"/&gt; Password: &lt;input type="password" name="pswrd"/&gt; &lt;input type="button" onclick="check(this.form)" value="Login"/&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>JavaScript:</p> <pre><code>function check(form) { var userCredentials = [["jsmith", "smithpassword", "John Smith"], ["jdoe", "doepassword", "Jane Doe"]]; var credCheck = 0; for (var i = 0; i &lt; userCredentials.length; i++) { if (userCredentials[i][0] == form.user_id.value) { credCheck += 1; var displayName = userCredentials[i][2]; if (userCredentials[i][1] == form.pswrd.value) { window.open("home.php?display_name=" + displayName, "_self"); } else { alert('The username and password do not match.'); return false; } } } if (credCheck == 0) { alert('The username entered is not valid.'); return false; } else { return true; } } </code></pre>

    1. COput an other name instead of `_self` and set it for `target` for `form`, and then submit the form

    3. COI think, by assigning it once for both form.target and window. Oh, I forgotten. Define a `var` name for window. Just like `var W = window.open(.....`

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.
