    <p>I'm using this code:</p> <pre><code>$newFilter = getNewFilter(); $fieldDropdown = getFieldDropdown(fieldData.field); $newFilter.append($fieldDropdown); $typeDropdown = getTypeDropdown($fieldDropdown.data('zenfilter').fieldId, $fieldDropdown.val(), fieldData.type); $newFilter.append($typeDropdown); $inputBox = getInputBox($typeDropdown.data('zenfilter').fieldId, $typeDropdown.data('zenfilter').fieldType, $typeDropdown.val(), fieldData.value); $newFilter.append($inputBox); </code></pre> <p>And I get a error (<code>$fieldDropdown.data("zenfilter") is null</code>) on the fourth line (<code>$typeDropdown = getTypeDropdown...</code>). This is because the <code>getFieldDropdown</code> didn't finished execution yet. How can I call the functions lineally? Thanks a lot.</p> <p>Edit: Added the getFieldDropdown function: </p> <pre><code>getFieldDropdown = function (populateData) { var $hiddenInput, i, $obj; $hiddenInput = $('&lt;input&gt;', { name: defaults.paramName + '[' + nFilters + '][field]', type: 'hidden' }); $obj = $('&lt;select&gt;&lt;/select&gt;', { 'class': classesHash.individualField, name: defaults.paramName + '[' + nFilters + '][fakefield]' }). data('zenfilter', { fieldId: nFilters }). addOption(fieldOptions). sortOptions(true). selectOptions(''). change(function(){ $(this).nextAll('select, div.' + classesHash.individualInputContainer).detach(); $(this).removeClass(classesHash.incompleteField).after(getTypeDropdown($(this).data('zenfilter').fieldId, $(this).val())); $(this).prev('input[type=hidden]').val(defaults.data[$(this).val()].fieldname); }); if (populateData) { for (i = 0; i &lt; defaults.data.length; i += 1) { if (defaults.data[i].fieldname === populateData) { $obj.selectOptions(String(i)); } } } return $hiddenInput.add($obj); }; </code></pre> <p>(addOptions, sortOptions and selectOptions are just a plugin's methods to manipulate selects easier, they don't do any AJAX)</p>

    1. COdoes `getFieldDropdown` make an AJAX call to load the data?

    2. COAre you positive this is what is happening here? Where is $typeDropdown.data('zenfilter') set? Does the getFieldDropdown call execute an AJAX query, subsequently setting the data for the $typeDropdown. Otherwise I would say everything above would execute synchronously, and sequentially.

    3. COWe need the function definition for getFieldDropdown to see if it is asynchronous, or most likely, synchronous (in which case a timer wouldn't help at all).

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).
