    <p>I am making a website simular to the app Google Now and I was wondering how to make JavaScript look for a certain word in a textbox. So for example if someone was to type "Show me the weather" into the textbox the JavaScript world see the keyword weather and it would show the me the weather. Here is my code:</p> <p>JavaScript:</p> <pre><code>function showAlert() { var txtCtrl = document.getElementById("textbox1"); var txtVal = txtCtrl.value; if (txtVal == '') { alert('Please fill in the text box. For a list of commands type "Help" into the text box.'); }else if (txtVal == 'Start' { alert('Hello. What would you like me to do?'); }else if (txtVal === 'Weather') { window.location = "https://www.google.com/#q=weather"; }else if (txtVal === 'Time') { alert('The current time according to your computer is' + formatTime(new Date())); }else if (txtVal === 'Help') { window.location = "help/index.html"; }else if (txtVal === 'Donate') { window.location = "donate/index.html"; }else if (txtVal === 'WWW.' ||) { }else{ alert('Sorry, I do not reconise that command. For a list of commands, type "Help" into the text box.'); } } //Show time in 24hour format function showTime(){ var today = new Date(); var h = today.getHours(); var m = today.getMinutes(); return [ h, m ].join(':') } //Show time in 12hour format var formatTime = (function () { function addZero(num) { return (num &gt;= 0 &amp;&amp; num &lt; 10) ? "0" + num : num + ""; } return function (dt) { var formatted = ''; if (dt) { var hours24 = dt.getHours(); var hours = ((hours24 + 11) % 12) + 1; formatted = [formatted, [addZero(hours), addZero(dt.getMinutes())].join(":"), hours24 &gt; 11 ? "PM" : "AM"].join(" "); } return formatted; } })(); </code></pre> <p>And the HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!doctype html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;Random Project&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;img class="logo" src="logo.png" width="450" height="110" alt="Random Project"&gt; &lt;input type="text" name="textbox1" value="" spellcheck="false" dir="ltr" placeholder="Type here" id="textbox1"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;button id="button1" name="button1" aria-label="Help me" onClick="showAlert();"&gt; &lt;span id="button1_text"&gt;Help me&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/button&gt; &lt;div class="separator"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span class="information"&gt;&amp;copy; Copyright DemDevs 2013.

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).
