    <p>I have one jquery ajax call nested inside another. The second call works, but the populated var I'm trying to return on the second call's success winds up undefined in the calling function. Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>$("input#ButtonSubmitMedNameLookup").click(function(evt) { evt.preventDefault(); var dto = { medName: $("#TextBoxMedNameLookup").val() }; $.ajax({ type: "post", contentType: "application/json; charset-utf-8", dataType: "json", url: "/Users/MedicationAddNew.aspx/LookupMed", data: JSON.stringify(dto), success: function(response) { var meds = response.d; writeMedsToTable(meds); } }); </code></pre> <p>...and further down in my codefile...</p> <pre><code>function writeMedsToTable(meds) { var htmlString; if (meds.length &gt; 0) { htmlString = "&lt;h3&gt;Which of these is it?&lt;/h3&gt;"; htmlString += "&lt;table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"jtable\"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;"; for (i = 0; i &lt; meds.length; i++) { htmlString += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;" + "&lt;input type=\"image\" class=\"newMedSelector\" src=\"Thumb.aspx?img=" + meds[i].RxCui.toString() + "&amp;w=75&amp;h=75\" rxcui=\"" + meds[i].RxCui.toString() + "\"&gt;" + meds[i].BrandName + " " + meds[i].Strength + " " + meds[i].Route + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; } htmlString += "&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;"; } else { htmlString = getSuggestionsString(); } $("div#SearchResults").html(htmlString); $("div#SearchResults").css({ padding: "10px", color: "#FF0000" }); $("div#SearchResults").show(500); } function getSuggestionsString() { var dto = { medName: $("#TextBoxMedNameLookup").val() }; $.ajax({ type: "post", contentType: "application/json; charset-utf-8", dataType: "json", url: "/Users/MedicationAddNew.aspx/GetSuggestions", data: JSON.stringify(dto), success: function(response) { var suggestions = response.d; var htmlString = "&lt;h3&gt;No results returned. Did you mean one of these?&lt;/h3&gt;"; htmlString += "&lt;table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"jtable\"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;"; for (i = 0; i &lt; suggestions.length; i++) { htmlString += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;" + "&lt;a href=\"#\"&gt;" + suggestions[i] + "&lt;/a&gt;" + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; } htmlString += "&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;"; return htmlString; // contains expected string } }); } </code></pre> <p>When I step through this in Firebug, htmlString within getSuggestionsString contains what I need right before being returned, but htmlString in writeMedsToTable is undefined after the call. </p> <p>I don't get it. Please, help.</p> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong> Well, I still don't know what the problem is with the above code. But for my purposes, as a workaround, it works if I just to select the target div again like this:</p> <pre><code>function getSuggestionsString() { var dto = { medName: $("#TextBoxMedNameLookup").val() }; $.ajax({ type: "post", contentType: "application/json; charset-utf-8", dataType: "json", url: "/Users/MedicationAddNew.aspx/GetSuggestions", data: JSON.stringify(dto), success: function(response) { var suggestions = response.d; var htmlString = "&lt;h3&gt;No results returned. Did you mean one of these?&lt;/h3&gt;"; htmlString += "&lt;table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"jtable\"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;"; for (i = 0; i &lt; suggestions.length; i++) { htmlString += "&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;" + "&lt;a href=\"#\"&gt;" + suggestions[i] + "&lt;/a&gt;" + "&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;"; } htmlString += "&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;"; $("div#SearchResults").html(htmlString); } }); } </code></pre> <p>Not my ideal, but it works.</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.
