<p>My specific question/problem has to do with implementing v1.7 of Cedric Dugas' jQuery validation plugin (<a href="http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/#comments" rel="nofollow">http://www.position-absolute.com/articles/jquery-form-validator-because-form-validation-is-a-mess/#comments</a>), BUT I believe the issue can easily be generalized to other situations.</p> <p>Typically I load the following script like so:</p> <pre><code><script src="inc/formValidator/js/jquery.validationEngine.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </code></pre> <p>Then to initialize the plugin, I do the following:</p> <pre><code><script> $(document).ready(function() { $("#myFormID").validationEngine(); }); </script> </code></pre> <p>I have a form with an id attribute with a value of "myFormID" and the script validates the form fields. This works. </p> <p>However, if I include the two bits of code on every page, but the page does not have a form with an ID of myFormID, then I get a null error. To try to address this problem and make the plugin load only when an appropriate form exists, I tried this:</p> <pre><code><script> if($('#myFormID').length) { $.getScript('inc/formValidator/js/jquery.validationEngine.js', function() { alert('Load was performed.'); }); }; </script> </code></pre> <p>That works fine too. However, now I can't figure out how to initialize the validationEngine and bind it to the form. Why doesn't this work?</p> <pre><code> $.getScript('inc/formValidator/js/jquery.validationEngine.js', function() { $("#myFormID").validationEngine(); }); </code></pre> <p>I also tried this:</p> <pre><code> $.getScript('inc/formValidator/js/jquery.validationEngine.js', function() { $("#myFormID").load(function() { $(this).validationEngine(); }); }); </code></pre> <p>No luck. I get this error: $("#myFormID") is null.</p> <p>Ideas? I'm nearly bald as it is. This isn't helping!</p>

Guidance

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.
