    <p>There are lots of ways to do this, but the demo below also contains a large part of the answer to your question, which would be to use the <code>.valid()</code> method to programatically test the form. You can use my example below in whole or in part.</p> <hr> <p>When I create multi-step forms, I use a unique set of <code>&lt;form&gt;</code> tags for each section. Then I use <a href="http://jqueryvalidation.org/valid" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the <code>.valid()</code> method</a> to test the section before moving to the next. <em>(Don't forget to first initialize the plugin; call <code>.validate()</code>, on all forms on DOM ready.)</em></p> <p>Then on the last section, I use <code>.serialize()</code> on each form and concatenate them into a data query string to be submitted.</p> <p>Something like this...</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function() { // &lt;-- DOM ready handler $('#form1').validate({ // initialize form 1 // rules }); $('#gotoStep2').on('click', function() { // go to step 2 if ($('#form1').valid()) { // code to reveal step 2 and hide step 1 } }); $('#form2').validate({ // initialize form 2 // rules }); $('#gotoStep3').on('click', function() { // go to step 3 if ($('#form2').valid()) { // code to reveal step 3 and hide step 2 } }); $('#form3').validate({ initialize form 3 // rules, submitHandler: function (form) { // serialize and join data for all forms var data = $('#form1').serialize() + '&amp;' + $('#form2').serialize() + '&amp;' + $(form).serialize() // ajax submit return false; // block regular form submit action } }); // there is no third click handler since the plugin takes care of this // with the built-in submitHandler callback function on the last form. }); </code></pre> <p>Important to remember that my <code>click</code> handlers above are not using <code>type="submit"</code> buttons. These are regular buttons, either <em>outside</em> of the <code>form</code> tags or <code>type="button"</code>.</p> <p>Only the button on the very last form is a regular <code>type="submit"</code> button. That is because I am leveraging the plugin's built-in <code>submitHandler</code> callback function on only the very last form.</p> <p><strong>"Proof of Concept" DEMO: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/dNPFX/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/dNPFX/</a></strong></p> <p>Also, see for reference:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/19546698/594235">https://stackoverflow.com/a/19546698/594235</a></p>

    1. COI am still studying your example to see how to integrate it within what I already have...based on your description it sounds to be *exactly* what I'm shooting for! I need to ask a dumb question...(this will show my ignorance LOL). I have read/seen somewhere that you can refer to the $(document).ready(function() using a shortcut method - $(function(). Is this correct? My code already has this defined, so if these two statements are equivalent then I'm pretty sure I can get where I need to go!

    2. CO@user3066388, The DOM ready handler can be written in different ways and you can combine all code on the page into one DOM ready handler. So yes, `$(function()` is exactly the same as `$(document).ready(function()`. See: http://api.jquery.com/ready/

    3. COThanks, I thought so. I have edited my main post to reflect what I've done with your code...I've done something wrong! LOL

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.
