    <p>I'm developing a webpage which creates a form with various select tags dynamically. Unfortenatley the jquery submit function passes incorrect information to the php file (form_submit.php) that must process this information; the (netbeans 7.4) debugger always shows default (not selected) values in $_POST within the php file instead of the selected values . The even stranger part: when I copy (in the code below) the console output with the serialised formdata straight into the following ajaxcode (see code), the php debugger shows the correct -selected values within the $_POST array..(?)</p> <p>The resulting form is quite substantial. The only theoretical cause I can think of is that therefore the execution of 'var dataAjax = $( this ).serialize();' takes time and is not finished when the following ajax call starts...(??)</p> <p>The code:</p> <pre><code>$("#myForm").submit(function(event){ event.preventDefault(); var dataAjax = $( this ).serialize(); //does not work, but when copying the string from the console in line below it does work. console.log('SUBMITTED FORM: '+ dataAjax ); //next line is only used as a test //var dataAjax = 'agreementapproval0=SolarX_10&amp;selected_emeterproductid0=SolarX_10_1_1&amp;selected_eproductid0=SolarX_10_2_4&amp;selected_emeterproductid1=NOSELECTION&amp;selected_emeterproductid2=NOSELECTION&amp;selected_eproductid1=NOSELECTION&amp;selected_eproductid2=NOSELECTION&amp;form_token=30688e467ee88167805ad0f330809d74'; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "form_submit.php", data: dataAjax, dataType: "json", async: true, success: function(msg){ if(msg.statusgeneral == 'success'){ } else { }//else }, //succes: function error: function(){ $("#errorbox").html("There was an error submitting the form. Please try again."); } });//.ajax //make sure the form doesn't post //return false; //depreciated //} //if(form.valid() });//$("#myForm").submit() &lt;form id="myForm" name="myForm" action="" method="post"&gt; &lt;div id="wrapper"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!--anchor point for adding set of product form fields --&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="form_token" value="&lt;?php echo $form_token; ?&gt;" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submitForm" value="Confirm"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COFirst, move `event.preventDefault();` to the first line of the event handler. this prevents the form from submitting even if an error occurs. Next, check the console for errors (after making the change)

    2. COYou might have an issue where the `.serialize` method returns a URL-encoded string, meaning that space would be `%20`, and so on. Maybe your php code, or something in between, does not like this. [reference](http://api.jquery.com/serialize/)

    3. CO@Kevin B: thnx, just did that, but no change and no errors in the console. The console does give a warning 'event.returnValue is deprecated. Please use the standard event.preventDefault() instead.'

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).
