    <p>I am trying to render a tree like hierarchy while recursing through set a nodes (<strong>index</strong>). I already know the roots(<strong>top</strong>). There are multiple root elements. I am trying to collect the entire html in the variable <strong>tree</strong> (this entire html will be appended to a div later)</p> <pre><code>tree = ""; top = ["1", "11", "14", "17", "72", "73", "74", "78", "79", "98", "99"]; index = { 1: { 'name': "Node 1", 'children': "2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10" }, 2: { 'name': "Node 2", 'children': "" }, //.... goes all the way upto 99 } </code></pre> <p>The recursive function makeFT(index,roots) only seems to break after traversing the children of first element in the "top" array. </p> <p>The code for this is at <a href="http://jsbin.com/ugoju4/2/edit" rel="nofollow">jsbin</a> and below. What could be the problem? Is there a better way to do this? Any help is appreciated.</p> <pre><code>makeFT(index, top); function makeFT(index, roots) { console.log(roots); tree == "" ? tree += '&lt;ul&gt;' : tree += '&lt;ul&gt;&lt;hr/&gt;' for (i = 0; i &lt; roots.length; ++i) { n = parseInt(roots[i]); //console.log(n); //console.log(index[n]); tree += '&lt;li&gt;' + roots[i] + '&lt;/span&gt;' + index[n].name; if (index[n].children === "") { tree += '&lt;input class="leaf tree-first-input" type="text" size="2"&gt;' } else { tree += '&lt;input class="non-leaf tree-first-input" type="text" size="2"&gt;' makeFT(index, index[n].children.split(",")); } tree += "&lt;/li&gt;" } tree += '&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br/&gt;' } </code></pre> <p>UPDATE : Turns out this is a scoping problem and not a recursion problem. The recursion was alright. Since I did not define scope of the variable 'i' while looping through roots array, each subsequent recursed function inherited the value of unscoped 'i' thereby creating the problem. </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.
