    <p>I've written a rudimentary text editor for my page. Any tag with the .edit class can be clicked by a logged in user and a form appears with the text in the textarea field to be edited in addition to unbinding the 'click'. Upon submit the function performs a post and updates the database via a ColdFusion component and reloads the page to reflect the changes made. Works great (thanks in no small part to the Stackoverflow community and Ray Camden).</p> <p>I created a 'cancel' function that clears the form field (because it's reusable) and re-binds teh 'click'. The trouble is, I see in firebug that if I click some text, cancel, click some other text and then click submit my code performs two posts - one for the cancelled click and one for the real thing.</p> <p>What do I need to do to kill that first aborted effort?</p> <p>Here's the code:</p> <pre><code> $(document).ready(function() { $('#cancelEdit').click(rebinder); $('.edit').click(texteditor); function texteditor(){ var theName = $(this).attr('name'); var textToEdit = $(this).html(); var theParentID = $(this).closest('div').attr('id'); var theTag = this.tagName.toLowerCase(); var theID = theName.split("-")[1]; var gateway = ("&lt;cfoutput&gt;#URL.page#&lt;/cfoutput&gt;"); var fieldDims = [$(this).css('width'), $(this).css('height')]; $('#theText').attr('value', textToEdit ); $('#theText').css('height', fieldDims[1]); $('#theText').css('width', fieldDims[0]); $('.edit').unbind('click'); $('#texteditform').submit(function(e){ //stop the form submission e.preventDefault() var newText = $('#theText').val(); //CFC $.post("cfc/engine.cfc?method=updateText&amp;returnformat=json", {text:newText, field:theID, gateway_id:gateway}, function(res) { //Handle the result if(res.trim() == "true") { $('#theText').attr('value', ''); location.reload(); //$('.edit').bind('click'); } else { alert("Didn't Work"); } }); }); }; function rebinder(){ alert('rebinder'); $('.edit').click(texteditor); $('#theText').attr( 'value', '' ); $('#theText').css('height', ''); $('#theText').css('width', ''); }; // End of document.ready function // }); </code></pre> <p>I just looked at the console and not only does the post happen twice but it posts the text from the second attempt to both post efforts which, unfortunately updates both elements with the .edit class. That's bad...</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.
