    <p>I'm working on a bit of code that asks a user for text input. Additionally, the user has the option to click "Click to add" to create an additional text input field. I was able to get this functionality to work using the jquery below. However, when I tried to add more jquery to process the user input with PHP (this begins with the setting of var dataString in the .js file below), I found that the initial "click to add" functionality stopped working. </p> <p>I'm pretty stumped about why and any insight one could provide would be great. </p> <p>This is my HTML: </p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="form_inputs"&gt; &lt;a href="#" id="add"&gt;click to add&lt;/a&gt; &lt;form method="POST"&gt; &lt;div id="input"&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="user_response[]" id="u_response" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;button id="submit"&gt;submit answers&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p> This is my current js file:</p> <pre><code>$(function() { var count = $('#form_inputs p').length + 1; $('#add').live('click', function(){ $('&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="text" name="user_response[]" id="u_response" /&gt;&lt;a href="#" id="remove"&gt;remove&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;').appendTo('#input'); count++; return false; }); $('#remove').live('click', function(){ if(count &gt; 2) { $(this).parents('p').remove(); count--; return false; } }); var dataString = $('input#user_response').val(); $.ajax ({ type: "POST"; url: "test3.php"; data: dataString; success: function(){ $('#form_inputs').html('&lt;div id="message"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;'); $('#message').html('&lt;h4&gt;thanks for submitting&lt;/h4&gt;'); } }) }); </code></pre>

    1. COYou have syntax errors. You're using `;` instead of `,` within the `$.ajax` object.

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).
