    <p>Before you point me to them, yes, I have reviewed the half dozen posts on this topic, but I am still stymied as to why this doesn't work.</p> <p>My goal is to detect when the autocomplete yields 0 results. Here's the code:</p> <pre><code> $.ajax({ url:'sample_list.foo2', type: 'get', success: function(data, textStatus, XMLHttpRequest) { var suggestions=data.split(","); $("#entitySearch").autocomplete({ source: suggestions, minLength: 3, select: function(e, ui) { entityAdd(ui.item.value); }, open: function(e, ui) { console.log($(".ui-autocomplete li").size()); }, search: function(e,ui) { console.log("search returned: " + $(".ui-autocomplete li").size()); }, close: function(e,ui) { console.log("on close" + $(".ui-autocomplete li").size()); $("#entitySearch").val(""); } }); $("#entitySearch").autocomplete("result", function(event, data) { if (!data) { alert('nothing found!'); } }) } }); </code></pre> <p>The search itself works fine, I can get results to appear without a problem. As I understand it, I <em>should</em> be able to intercept the results with the autocomplete("result") handler. In this case, it never fires at all. (Even a generic alert or console.log that doesn't reference the number of results never fires). The open event handler shows the correct number of results (when there are results), and the search and close event handlers report a result size that is always one step behind. </p> <p>I feel like I'm missing something obvious and glaring here but I just don't see it. </p>

    1. COIt looks like there isn't an easy way to accomplish this with an autocomplete widget driven by client-side data. Is using a remote source for the widget an option?

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
