    <p>I have an ajax search function that produces a list of names from database. Each name is echoed back as a form button so when user clicks on the name another ajax call will bring up all info related to that name. However, it is not working. I have tried several variations of the ajax function below but either nothing happens at all or the page just gets refreshed with no results. Any ideas on how to get this to work?</p> <p>This is the latest ajax (which does nothing)</p> <pre><code>$(function GetInfo() { $('form').on('click', function (e) { var tourName = $('#tourName').val(); var FirstName = $('#FirstName').val(); var LastName = $('#LastName').val(); alert("PLEASE ENTER A NAME" + FirstName + LastName); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: 'process.php', data: "tourName=" + tourName + "&amp;firstname=" + firstname + "&amp;lastname=" + lastname, success: function(data){ $("#search_results").html(data); } }); e.preventDefault(); }); }); </code></pre> <p>And this is the php loop that produces the forms (names):</p> <pre><code>$string = ''; if (mysql_num_rows($query)){ while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ $FirstName = $row['FirstName']; $LastName = $row['LastName']; $Name = $row['FirstName']." ".$row['LastName']; $string .= "&lt;form method='post' action=''&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='FirstName' value='$FirstName'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='LastName' value='$LastName'&gt; &lt;input type='button' class='button' name='person_name' value='$Name' onClick='GetInfo()'&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n"; } }else{ $string = "No matches found!"; } mysql_close($con); echo $string; </code></pre> <p>Just incase anyone has the same issue, I got the following code to work:</p> <pre><code> function GetInfo(form) { var person_name = form.person_name.value; var tourName = form.tourName.value; var firstname = form.FName.value; var lastname = form.LName.value; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "process.php", data: "person_name=" + person_name + "&amp;tourName=" + tourName + "&amp;firstname=" + firstname + "&amp;lastname=" + lastname, success: function(data){ $("#search_results").html(data); } }); return false; } </code></pre> <p>And in the form </p> <pre><code>$string .= "&lt;form method='post' id='$form'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='tourName' value='$tourneyName'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='FName' value='$FirstName'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='LName' value='$LastName'&gt; &lt;input type='button' class='button' name='person_name' value='$Name' onClick='GetInfo (this.form)'&gt;&lt;/form&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;\n"; } }else{ $string = "No matches found!"; } </code></pre>

    3. CONumerous issues: Your jquery selectors are looking for items with id="tourName" etc, whilst none of your form fields have ids set. If the ids where set, you would have duplicate ids and it would still fail. You are using onclick to call a jquery function that is wrapping an event listener probably a bunch of other problems

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).
