I have a really confusing problem. I have a PHP script that polls another PHP script through Prototype. Now when I poll this page once everything is fine and it all reponds fine but when I poll a second time it returns an odd reponse. What I have is a piece of text: <pre><code>blah &pound; &pound; </code></pre> Now when this goes through Prototype first time around it encodes the string correctly using the escape function. Full code is displayed here (escape_function variable is id_opt['escape_function']): <pre><code>escape_function: escape, // or encodeURIComponent var new_text = id_opt['escape_function']($F(id + '_edit')); var params = 'id=' + id + '&content=' + new_text; if(id_opt['type'] == 'select') { params += '&option_name=' + $(id + '_option_' + new_text).innerHTML; } var ajax_req = new Ajax.Request( id_opt['save_url'], { method: 'post', postBody: params, onSuccess: function(t) { alert(t.responseText); EditInPlace._saveComplete(id, t); }, onFailure: function(t) { EditInPlace._saveFailed(id, t); } } ); </code></pre> The polled php page saves the information (the piece of text) to db and reponds with the text. Prototype then sets the contents of a div to the returned text. When I go to submit it again everything is fine until the alert(t.responseText); when prototype shows some unkown characters in place of the £. The strangest thing is the information in the database field is still blah £ £ (which is correct) but prototype responds with blah (?) (?) (the (?) symbols are the unkown symbol deliminators). I have come to the conclusion that PHP echos the right information but for some reason prototype picks up the wrong information...but there is nothing to do that between the two which has got me really confused. Being a newb at prototype I'm not really that adept at solving this. Thanks for any help,

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.
