    <p>I've got a registration box working otherwise apart from the fact that it won't send the textfield value to my php script - is .val() the right function? I know there's probably a hundred thins wrong with the way I've done this, but I'd appreciate any input.</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function(){ $("form#joinus").submit(function() { var gender = $('#gender').attr('value'); var age = $('#age').attr('value'); var gamer = $('#gamer').attr('value'); var name = $('#name').val(); console.log("register AJAX input: " + "gender="+ gender +"&amp; age="+ age +"&amp; gamer=" + gamer +"&amp; name=" + name); var display = document.getElementById('feedback'); $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "scripts/register.php", data: "gender="+ gender +"&amp; age="+ age +"&amp; gamer=" + gamer +"&amp; name=" + name, success: function(msg){ $('form#joinus').hide(function(){$('div.success').fadeIn();}); display.innerHTML = msg; } }); return false; }); }); </code></pre> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>form id="joinus" method="post" action=""&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;table style="text-align: left"&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Gender:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;select name="gender" id="gender"&gt; &lt;option value="male"&gt;Male&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="female"&gt;Female&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Age:&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;select name="age" id="age"&gt; &lt;option value="18"&gt;18&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="19"&gt;19&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="20"&gt;20&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="21"&gt;21&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="22"&gt;22&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="23"&gt;23&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="24"&gt;24&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="25"&gt;25&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="26"&gt;26&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="27"&gt;27&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="28"&gt;28&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="29"&gt;29&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="30"&gt;30&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="31"&gt;31&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="32"&gt;32&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="33"&gt;33&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="34"&gt;34&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="35"&gt;35&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="36"&gt;36&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="37"&gt;37&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="38"&gt;38&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="39"&gt;39&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="40"&gt;40&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="41"&gt;41&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="42"&gt;42&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="43"&gt;43&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="44"&gt;44&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="45"&gt;45&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="46"&gt;46&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="47"&gt;47&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="48"&gt;48&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="49"&gt;49&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="50"&gt;50&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="51"&gt;51&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="52"&gt;52&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="53"&gt;53&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="54"&gt;54&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="55"&gt;55&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="56"&gt;56&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="57"&gt;57&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="58"&gt;58&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="59"&gt;59&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="60"&gt;60&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="61"&gt;61&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="62"&gt;62&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="63"&gt;63&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="64"&gt;64&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="65"&gt;65&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="66"&gt;66&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="67"&gt;67&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="68"&gt;68&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="69"&gt;69&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="70"&gt;70+&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;Would you describe yourself as a "gamer"?

    1. COYes, `val()` is the right function but you are using `.attr('value')` which is wrong. Furthermore, you should pass an object to `data:` so that jQuery can apply URL encoding: `data: {gender: gender, age: age, ...}`.

    2. COIf you look more carefully, I am using val() on name, which is the field I'm having a problem with. I appreciate your advice regarding passing an object instead of string though.

    3. CO@Hal Clive: I have seen it. You did not say that this is the field you have a problem with (although this could be inferred). Are you adding a special click handler to the `<button>`? Because just clicking it would not submit your form. You'd need `<input type="submit" />` instead. Btw. if you have problems with names containing a space, then passing an object to `data:` will solve your problem.

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).
