    <p>I am trying to update cost values in a separate div from an external XML file when a user clicks on a table column.</p> <p>My table structure is as follows:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table id="benefit" class="portletTable benefitsTable" summary="This table displays the level of of benefit you would receive."&gt; &lt;caption&gt;Table of benefits&lt;/caption&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th width="33%" scope="row" class="firstHead"&gt; Select your level of cover &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th scope="col"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Level 1&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th scope="col"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Level 2&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;th scope="col"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;Level 3&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr class="price"&gt; &lt;th scope="row"&gt; Price &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; &amp;pound;5 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &amp;pound;10 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &amp;pound;20 &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="benefit"&gt; &lt;th scope="row"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="/cash-plan-quote/jsp/popUp.jsp" class="pop pop-console" target="_blank" title="Opens in a new window" rel="800, 600"&gt;Dental&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;Full cost of treatment, up to 100%&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="/cash-plan-quote/jsp/popUp.jsp" class="info pop pop-console" target="_blank" title="Opens in a new window" rel="800, 600"&gt;More information on this benefit&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&amp;pound;50&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;per year&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&amp;pound;100&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;per year&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&amp;pound;150&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;per year&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr class="benefit"&gt; &lt;th scope="row"&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="/cash-plan-quote/jsp/popUp.jsp" class="pop pop-console" target="_blank" title="Opens in a new window" rel="800, 600"&gt;Helplines&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;Available with all levels&lt;/p&gt; &lt;a href="/cash-plan-quote/jsp/popUp.jsp" class="info pop pop-console" target="_blank" title="Opens in a new window" rel="800, 600"&gt;More information on this benefit&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/th&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src="/cash-plan-quote/common/images/icons/tick.png" width="19" height="16" alt="This benefit is included" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src="/cash-plan-quote/common/images/icons/cross.png" width="19" height="16" alt="This benefit is not included" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;img src="/cash-plan-quote/common/images/icons/tick.png" width="19" height="16" alt="This benefit is included" /&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>So when a user clicks on the Level 1 column the prices are updated in a separate cost panel division on the fly.</p> <p>Here is the jQuery I am using to achieve this:</p> <pre><code>// Retrieve XML info on column click $('#benefit tr *').click(function(){ var colIndex = $(this).parent().children().index ($(this)); if (colIndex != 0) { $.get('/cash-plan-quote/poc.xml', function(data){ $(data).find('level').each(function() { var $level = $(this); var $levelName = $level.attr('name'); if (colIndex == $levelName) { var coverLevel = '&lt;span&gt;Level ' + $level.attr('name') + ' benefits&lt;/span&gt;'; var $month = $level.find('month').text(); var monthCost = '&lt;h5&gt;&amp;pound;' + $month + '&lt;/h5&gt;'; var $week = $level.find('week').text(); var weekCost = '&lt;h6&gt;&amp;pound;' + $week + '&lt;/h6&gt;'; $('div.costPanel &gt; h2 &gt; span').replaceWith($(coverLevel)); $('div.costPanel &gt; div.costs &gt; h5').replaceWith($(monthCost)); $('div.costPanel &gt; div.costs &gt; h6').replaceWith($(weekCost)); }; }); }); return false; }; </code></pre> <p>The problem is occurring using the * selector as this indexes the elements inside the ths and tds as well when I only want the function restricted to clicking on either the th or td.</p> <p>Any ideas?</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.

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