    <p>I'm creating a dialog to show the status of a long running process. Basically, I want to create the dialog, and update the contents as the long running process executes. I'm still pretty new to jQuery/jQuery UI, so I'm probably doing something dumb, but I don't understand why the following does not work:</p> <pre><code> function updateStatus() { $('#status').html("Interval status!"); $('#message').html("message status!"); } ... var $updateDialog = $('&lt;div id="updateDialog">&lt;/div>') .html('&lt;table>&lt;tr>&lt;td id="status">Status goes here ...&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;tr>&lt;td>&nbsp;&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;tr>&lt;td id="message">Message goes here ...&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;/table>') .dialog({ title: 'Update Progress', modal: 'true', buttons: { "OK" : function() { $(this).dialog("close"); clearInterval(interval); } } }); interval = setInterval(updateStatus, 1000); </code></pre> <p>When updateStatus gets called, I expect to see the &lt;td> elements updated to the new values, but the content is not changed. If I do something like $('#status').html() and write it to the console, it shows that it <em>is</em> changed; but the change is not visible in the dialog.</p> <p>However, if I completely replace the entire html() for the dialog, the contents of the dialog is visible.</p> <pre><code> $('#updateDialog').html('&lt;table>&lt;tr>&lt;td id="status">Interval Status ...&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;tr>&lt;td>&nbsp;&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;tr>&lt;td id="message">Interval message ...&lt;/td>&lt;/tr> &lt;/table>') </code></pre> <p>I'd rather use the more "surgical" approach of updating the individual elements if I can. Can somebody tell me what I'm missing here?</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.
