    <p>I have a Rails 3 application that can create and delete products. An index page lists all the products. Next to each product in the list is a delete link:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to "Delete", product, :method =&gt; :delete, :title =&gt; "Delete" %&gt; </code></pre> <p>This looks like this in the HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="/products/104" data-method="delete" rel="nofollow" title="Delete"&gt;Delete&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>This has been working fine.</p> <p>I've reached the point where I want to install JQuery in my application. I followed the steps available on several web pages (like <a href="http://lindsaar.net/2010/5/9/Getting-Rails-3-Edge-with-jQuery-RSpec-and-Cucumber-using-RVM" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> or <a href="http://joshhuckabee.com/jquery-rails-3" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this,</a> for example).</p> <p>After installing JQuery, the above "delete" link breaks. Instead of processing the <code>destroy</code> action in <code>ProductsController</code>, Rails attempts to process the <code>show</code> action!</p> <p>My guess is that it has something to do with the fact that web browsers can’t send <code>DELETE</code> requests natively, so Rails "fakes" such requests with JavaScript, which is why I had the following line <em>before</em> attempting the JQuery install:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Edit: Something during the JQuery install must have made it such that the Javascript used to "fake" the <code>DELETE</code> request no longer works, resulting in the <code>show</code> action being called. But what exactly is happening I don't know...</p> <p>Anyone have any ideas? Thank you.</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.
