    <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> may have messed up the question. meant "if the html in the link equals a php variable"</p> <p>so let's say we have an unordered list menu on a page where database values are coming in. i want to add active class to a link that has same value as a database variable. how do i do that? i would like to be able to do it with text values and number values.</p> <pre><code>&lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;text1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;text2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;text3&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;500&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;1000&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;1500&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre> <p>so let's say these variables are on the page:</p> <pre><code>$var1 &amp; $var2 </code></pre> <p>echoing those out like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo $var1; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;?php echo $var2; ?&gt;&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>would print these values out:</p> <pre><code>text1 1000 </code></pre> <p>so what i want to do is some php and jquery that would do these things:</p> <p>if $var1 equals text1 then do one of these 2 on the 1st ul list. doesn't matter which:</p> <pre><code>&lt;li class="active"&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)"&gt;text1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:void(0)" class="active"&gt;text1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; </code></pre> <p>if $var1 equals text2 then the second list item on the 1st ul list should get active class on the "li" or "a".</p> <p>if $var1 equals text3 then the third list item on the 1st ul list should get active class on the "li" or "a".</p> <p>if $var2 equals 500 then the first list item on the 2nd ul list should get active class on the "li" or "a".</p> <p>if $var2 equals 1000 then the second list item on the 2nd ul list should get active class on the "li" or "a".</p> <p>if $var2 equals 1500 then the third list item on the 2nd ul list should get active class on the "li" or "a".</p>

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.
