    <p>I want to display some drop-lists in the web page, so I created table, table body, row and cell with document.createElement() method; then I create the select elements and add them to the cells with appendChild() method. The web page can display the drop-lists.</p> <p>Then I want to add a sentence to give user a hint, like "This drop-list is for xxxx, and you can use it to xxx". I decide to use label to do it. So I create a label. But I don't want to add the label to a separate cell behind the drop-list. I want to add the label just after the drop-list. So I use appendChild() again to add the label and select in the same cell - Firstly append select, secondly append label. But the label is displayed BEFORE the select in the web page.</p> <p>Then I tried to append the label to the select as a child node of the select. Then the label disappears. Only select is displayed.</p> <p>I'm a very newbie about HTML/Javascript/DOM. Maybe my thought is wrong from the beginning. Is there anyone can give me a way to implement my requirement? I just want to add a sentence after a drop-list.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>======================================================</p> <pre><code>if (request.readyState == 4 &amp;&amp; request.status == 200) { maindiv = document.getElementById("maintable"); optiondiv = getDivRef("optiondiv"); //create a table to hold the options. mytable = document.createElement("table"); mytablebody = document.createElement("tbody"); option_array = splitOptions(request.responseText.replace(/[\r\n]/g, ""), ';'); for (xindex = 0; xindex &lt; option_array.length; xindex++) { _select = createSelect(_tmp_option_pair[0]); mycurrent_row = document.createElement("tr"); mycurrent_cel2 = document.createElement("td"); // for drop list mycurrent_cel3 = document.createElement("td"); // for hint try { for (yindex = 0; yindex &lt; _tmp_option_list.length; yindex++) { _select.add(new Option(_tmp_option_list[yindex], yindex), null); } }catch (ex) { for (yindex = 0; yindex &lt; _tmp_option_list.length; yindex++) { _select.add(new Option(_tmp_option_list[yindex], yindex)); } } _label2 = createLabel(_tmp_option_pair[0] + "_Label2"); _label2.setAttribute("for", _select.id); _label2.innerText = "test1"; //add obj to dom tree mycurrent_cel2.appendChild(_select); mycurrent_cel2.appendChild(_label2); mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cel2); mycurrent_row.appendChild(mycurrent_cel3); mytablebody.appendChild(mycurrent_row); } } </code></pre> <p>The generated html code is</p> <pre><code>&lt;td&gt; &lt;select is="GuestID"&gt; &lt;option&gt;xxxxx&lt;/option&gt; ..... &lt;/select&gt; &lt;label id="GuestID_Label2" for="GuestID"&gt;test1&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/td&gt; </code></pre> <p>The CSS code</p> <pre><code>label { font-weight: bold; text-align: right; width: 100px; display: block; float: left; clear: left; margin-right: 3px; cursor: pointer } </code></pre>

    1. COAre you sure there is no CSS influencing the position of the select and label? That HTML snippet in itself should place the label after the select.

    2. COHi Frode, You are right. I checked my CSS file, there is a "float: left" for the label. I copied the style but didn't know the meaning. Now I know. Thank you.:)

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.
