    <p>I have used the jquery-ui to autocomplete an input box and set a hidden value from the selected item. </p> <p>This I did using the </p> <pre><code> select: function(event, ui) { ...$("#myDiv").val(ui.item.value)... } </code></pre> <p>option (might be wrong now, don't have the code at hand, but it works up until my question...)</p> <p>It works when select an item from the menu with the mouse, however if I just enter some text and choose an item with Enter - it does not do anything, it is as if the select is not run at all by the autocomplete function. However, tabbing out of the box triggers the select.</p> <p>I have used a focus and change: to also update the fields I want, but I think this is overkill, should it really be necessary to specify all of focus, change and select, just to be sure that however a user selects an item from the list it will actually be selected.</p> <p>Thank you.</p> <p>rofly: I am using the jquery-ui autocomplete, it has the code you give, but it looks like this (from the jquery.ui.autocomplete.js)</p> <pre><code> case keyCode.ENTER: case keyCode.NUMPAD_ENTER: // when menu is open or has focus if ( self.menu.active ) { event.preventDefault(); } //passthrough - ENTER and TAB both select the current element case keyCode.TAB: if ( !self.menu.active ) { return; } self.menu.select( event ); break; </code></pre> <p>That looks all dandy, so Im not sure if it fails because of this.</p> <p>My code is like this (wrapped in document.read()</p> <pre><code>$("#someDiv").attr("autocomplete", 'off'); $("#someDiv").autocomplete({ source: function(request, response) { if ( request.term in cache ) { response( cache[ request.term ] ); return; } $.ajax({ url: "giveMeJSON.jsp", dataType: "json", data: request, success: function( data ) { cache[ request.term ] = data; response( data ); } })}, minLength: 1, delay: 300, select: function(event, ui) { $("#someDiv").val(ui.item.label); $("#hiddenDiv").val(ui.item.value); } });</code></pre> <p>so, the problem is, this works when the user is selecting from the menu with the mouse AND when tabbing out of the field (keyUp,keyDown to choose then tab out, works) but keyUp,keyDown to choose itme, then enter, and nothing happens!</p>

    1. COif you set an hidden input it has a weird id `myDiv`.... maybe `change: function(event, ui) { ...$("#myDiv").val(ui.item.value)... }` works

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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