    <p>This is probably a very rookie question but i am stumped. </p> <p>I have the following code which is parsing an XML file and putting each element into a table. My problem is that there is not always nine elements in each row and the names of each element changes between XML files. Is there any way to create a loop that runs through each row (without knowing the element name (<code>col0</code>, <code>col1</code>, etc) ) and puts it into a table? </p> <p>The XML goes like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;row&gt; &lt;Col0&gt;titles&lt;/Col0&gt; &lt;Col1&gt;more titles&lt;/Col1&gt; &lt;Col2&gt;title&lt;/Col2&gt; &lt;Col3&gt;name&lt;/Col3&gt; &lt;Col4&gt;another name&lt;/Col4&gt; &lt;Col5&gt;different name&lt;/Col5&gt; &lt;Col6&gt;&lt;/Col6&gt; &lt;Col7&gt;&lt;/Col7&gt; &lt;Col8&gt;&lt;/Col8&gt; &lt;/row&gt; &lt;row&gt; &lt;Col0&gt;5:58&lt;/Col0&gt; &lt;Col1&gt;-&lt;/Col1&gt; &lt;Col2&gt;6:08&lt;/Col2&gt; &lt;Col3&gt;6:11&lt;/Col3&gt; &lt;Col4&gt;6:15&lt;/Col4&gt; &lt;Col5&gt;6:19&lt;/Col5&gt; &lt;Col6&gt;&lt;/Col6&gt; &lt;Col7&gt;&lt;/Col7&gt; &lt;Col8&gt;&lt;/Col8&gt; &lt;/row&gt; </code></pre> <p>etc....</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { $.get('newlayout.xml', function(d){ $('.tabl').append('&lt;table&gt;'); $(d).find('row').each(function(){ var $row = $(this); var col01 = $row.find('Col0').text(); var col02 = $row.find('Col1').text(); var col03 = $row.find('Col2').text(); var col04 = $row.find('Col3').text(); var col05 = $row.find('Col4').text(); var col06 = $row.find('Col5').text(); var col07 = $row.find('Col6').text(); var col08 = $row.find('Col7').text(); var col09 = $row.find('Col8').text(); html = '&lt;tr&gt;' html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col01 + '&lt;/td&gt;'; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col02 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col03 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col04 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col05 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col06 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col07 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col08 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;td style="width:80px"&gt; ' + col09 + '&lt;/td&gt;' ; html += '&lt;/tr&gt;'; $('.tabl').append($(html)); }); }); }); </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance,<br> Tom</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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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