    <p>I am trying to use the jQuery "CSV" plugin, as documented here: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/js-tables/wiki/CSV" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://code.google.com/p/js-tables/wiki/CSV</a></p> <p>According to the documentation:</p> <pre><code>// Convert CSV data into array of arrays jQuery.csv()("1,2,3\n4,5,6\n7,8,9\n"); // = [ [1,2,3], [4,5,6], [7,8,9] ] </code></pre> <p>But when I attempt to do something similar, it just seems to treat the "\n" as another character in the middle of an array element.</p> <p>What am I doing wrong? I am using jQuery 1.4.2 and Firefox 3.5.10 for testing. I have also tried it with jQuery 1.3 and get the same result.</p> <p>If it is a problem with the plugin, then can someone suggest another plugin for reading CSV? My ultimate goal is to convert CSV from a string into an HTML table; the only plugin I can find that specifically does this requires the CSV to come from a file, which is not desirable for my task.</p> <p>Here is a minimal test page I put together which illustrates that it's not separating the lines into sub-arrays:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;title&gt;CSVtest&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.4.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.csv.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { var lines = $.csv()("a,b\nc,d"); alert(lines[0][1]); // Displays: b // c instead of the expected b }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COMake sure you're using double and not single quotes, which don't do a good job of acknowledging newlines.

    2. CO@Steven Xu, that's not true of JavaScript strings. Aside from the obvious, there's no difference between `"` and `'`.

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).
