    <p>If the submit button is clicked, prevent the default action and see if the field 'account_name' is already in use. If the <code>$.get()</code> returns a result, alert the user of the results. If it doesn't, submit form with <code>id="add_account_form"</code>. </p> <p>My problem is that my else{} statement is not submitting the form. I get no response when submit is clicked &amp; there is no value returned. </p> <p>Also I would like to change my code where it goes <code>$("#add_account_form").submit(..)</code> instead of <code>.click()</code> however, would that cause a problem when trying to submit the form later in the script?</p> <pre><code> &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready( function () { $("#submit").click( function () { var account_name = $("input[name=account_name]").val(); $.get( "'.url::site("ajax/check_account_name").'", {account_name: account_name}, function(data){ if(data.length &gt; 0){ confirm( "The account name you entered looks like the following:\n" +data+ "Press cancel if this account already exists or ok to create it." ); }else{ $("#add_account_form").submit(); } }); return false; }); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;input type="submit" id="submit" class="submit small" name="submit" value="Submit" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help.</p> <h2><strong>EDIT</strong></h2> <p>So anyone who runs into my problems, it's that $.get() is asynchronous, so it will always return false, or true depending on what submitForm is defined as. $.ajax() however, allows async to be set as false, which allows the function to finish before moving on. See what I mean:</p> <pre><code> $(document).ready( function () { $("#add_account_form").submit( function () { var submitForm = true; var account_name = $("input[name=account_name]").val(); $.ajax({ type: "GET", async: false, url: "'.url::site("ajax/check_account_name").'", data: ({account_name: account_name}), success: function(data){ if(data.length &gt; 0){ if(!confirm( "The account name you entered looks like the following:\n" +data+ "Press cancel if this account already exists or ok to create it." )){ submitForm = false; } } } }); if (submitForm == false ) { return false; } }); }); </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your help @Dan</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).
