    <p>I know there are a lot of questions similar to this one already out there but none of them seemed to be the same as my current issue (if so sorry for the repeat).</p> <p>What I am trying to create here is a script that will; upon clicking of a link, take the link name and type and find it in the folder. Then once it has been located add it into the DOM inside the specific container (#content in our case).</p> <p>jQuery doesn't seem to want to grab text from an even.target (see code). I'm still learning jQuery so this may seem stupid and elementary to you so please be nice/patient.</p> <p>CODE:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE HTML&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;

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).
