    <p>So basically I'm trying to use Ajax to work with a PHP file and post both inputs (fullname and phonenumber), but it doesn't seem to be working when I try and click the submit button it only refreshes.</p> <p>Here's my code, it's all on the HTML file:</p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html lang="en-us"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta charset="utf-8"&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="style2.css" type="text/css"&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; function validateForm () { var x=document.forms["myForm"] ["fullname"].value; if (x==null || x=="") { alert ("First name must be filled out"); return false; } var x=document.forms["myForm"] ["phonenumber"].value; if (x=null || x=="") { alert ("Please enter a phone number"); return false; } function isNumberKey(evt) { var e = evt || window.event; //window.event is safer, var charCode = e.which || e.keyCode; if (charCode &gt; 31 &amp;&amp; (charCode &lt; 47 || charCode &gt; 57)) return false; if (e.shiftKey) return false; return true; } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "http://www.bmoseley.com/ajax/addrecord.php", data: "fullname=" + fullname + "&amp;phonenumber=" + phonenumber, success: function(){ alert("Name and phone number added successfully!"); } }); $("#displayInfo").load("http://www.bmoseley.com/ajax/listrecords.php"); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="wrap"&gt; &lt;div id="wrapper"&gt; &lt;div id="info"&gt; &lt;form name="myForm" action="#" onSubmit="return validateForm ()"&gt; &lt;table border="0"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="fullname" name="fullname" maxlength="50" type="text" name="fullname" placeholder="Name" action="#"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input id="phonenumber" name="phonenumber" maxlength="10" onkeypress="return isNumberKey(event)" placeholder="Phone Number"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input class="button" type="submit" value="Submit"&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="displayInfo"&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ $("#displayInfo").load("http://www.bmoseley.com/ajax/listrecords.php"); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Sorry for the messy code.

    2. CO@SandeepNayak I believe not, it says "unexpected end of input" and "unexpected token }" After deleting the extra } now it says "fullname is not defined"

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
