    <p>The <code>selected</code> attribute does <strong>not</strong> correspond to the current selectedness state of the option. The <code>selected</code> attribute corresponds to the <em>default</em> selectedness, which will be restored if <code>.reset()</code> is called (or a <code>type="reset"</code> button is clicked) on the form. The current selectedness state can be accessed using the DOM property <code>selected</code>, whereas the default-selectedness, as reflected by the attribute, is accessed under the DOM property <code>defaultSelected</code>.</p> <p>The same goes for <code>value</code> vs <code>defaultValue</code> on <code>&lt;input type="text"&gt;</code>/<code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code>, and <code>checked</code>/<code>defaultChecked</code> on <code>type="checkbox"</code>/<code>"radio"</code>.</p> <p>jQuery's <code>attr()</code> is misleadingly named, and its attempts to pretend attributes and properties are the same thing is flawed. When you use <code>attr()</code>, you are usually accessing the property, <em>not</em> the attribute. Consequently, <code>$(el).attr('selected', 'selected')</code> is actually doing <code>el.selected= 'selected'</code>. This works because <code>'selected'</code>, as with any non-empty string, is ‘truthy’: it gets converted to <code>el.selected= true</code>. But this does not at any point touch the <code>selected="selected"</code> attribute.</p> <p>IE further complicates this already confusing situation by (a) getting <code>getAttribute</code>/<code>setAttribute</code> wrong so it accesses the properties instead of the attributes (which is why you should never use these methods in an HTML document), and (b) incorrectly mapping the current form state to the HTML attributes, so the attributes do actually appear in that browser.</p> <blockquote> <p>but I need selected="selected" there</p> </blockquote> <p>Why? Are you serialising the form to <code>innerHTML</code>? This won't include form field values (again, except in IE due to the bug), so is not a usable way to store field values.</p>

    2. COThanks. The other script _uses_ the current selected option(from DOM), or the default option if nothing has been selected yet for further processing. After reading your response, In order to let that script choose currently selected option, I guess the correct method would be setting the DOM property `selected` instead of using `selected="selected"`?

    3. COYes. Though there are also limited conditions where some browsers will *also* set the current value when you set the default value. aaaargh!

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).
