    <p>I've got a form with the following select box:</p> <pre><code>&lt;fieldset id="workers_comp_info"&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;label for="i_n_r_reason"&gt;Reason why Workers Comp Insurance is not required:&lt;/label&gt; &lt;select name="i_n_r_reason" id="i_n_r_reason"&gt; &lt;option value="No employees"&gt;No employees&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="1-2 employees"&gt;1-2 employees&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="Other"&gt;Other(Specify reason)&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;input id="other_reason" name="other_reason" type="text" placeholder="Other Reason" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've written the following jquery code to hide the "other_reason" text field unless "Other" is selected in the select box.</p> <pre><code>$('#i_n_r_reason').change(function() { $('#other_reason').toggle($(this).val()=='Other'); }).change(); </code></pre> <p>I am creating a jquery method called SubmitForm. I want to write something like this:</p> <pre><code>function SubmitForm() { if ($('#i_n_r_reason').val()=='Other') ('#i_n_r_reason').val = ('#other_reason').val ('#account_form').submit(); } </code></pre> <p>When the user selects 'Other', the text field is displayed for them to enter a reason. I want this reason to override 'Other' when the user submits the form. But its not happening with this code. Any suggestions?</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.
