    <p>Why is that changing a button text doesn't work in Opera 11.11 for elements like</p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="submit" value="Asdasd" id="blahblah_button" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>? (Didn't try it in earlier versions yet.)</p> <p>I tried it with jQuery and with "pure" JavaScript too, none of them worked. <br>This is the jQuery code I tried:</p> <pre><code>$('#blahblah_button').val('Blah-blah'); </code></pre> <p>and this is the "pure" JS-code:</p> <pre><code>document.getElementById('blahblah_button').value = 'Blah-blah'; </code></pre> <p>Why is that <b>none of them worked in Opera 11.11</b>?<br /><b>It DOES work in IE, Chrome and FF</b>, it surprises me that it doesn't work in Opera.</p> <p>I have to mention that it DOES work for button tags like this in Opera too:</p> <pre><code>&lt;button id="test_button" onclick="$(this).text('Blahblah');"&gt;Some text&lt;/button&gt; </code></pre> <p>Thanks for your answers in advance!</p> <hr> <h3>EDIT I. (0:40)</h3> <p>I forgot to mention that querying the button's value after the modification gives the result that it seems to work fine, which means it changes the structure in JS DOM, but doesn't rerender the visible button appropriately.</p> <p>This is the example code with which you can try this behaviour:</p> <p><a href="http://jsbin.com/inuxix/1/edit" rel="nofollow">http://jsbin.com/inuxix/1/edit</a></p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="hu" xml:lang="hu"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Changing button text&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.1/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;p&gt;Button tag - WORKING &lt;button onclick="$(this).text('Blahblah_1');" id="test_button"&gt;Button_text (button_tag)&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Input tag (type: submit) - NOT working &lt;input onclick="$(this).val('Blahblah_2');" type="submit" value="Submit_text" id="blahblah_submit_type" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Input tag (type: button) - WORKING &lt;input onclick="$(this).val('Blahblah_3');" type="button" value="Button_text" id="blahblah_button_type" /&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;button onclick="alert($('#blahblah_submit_type').val());" id="val_button"&gt;Getting blahblah_submit_type's value&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <h3>EDIT II. (4:41)</h3> <p>But I also have to mention that <b>it DOES work for input elements with "button" type</b> - so I complemented my code above with an element like this. I also marked which types do and which don't work.</p> <hr> <h3>EDIT III.</h3> <p>In the meantime, I tested it, and it doesn't work in Opera &lt;= <a href="http://opera-usb.com/download/operausb1111int.zip" rel="nofollow" title="Opera 11.11">11.11</a>, <strong>but this bug has been fixed in <a href="http://opera-usb.com/download/operausb1150int.zip" rel="nofollow" title="Opera 11.50">Opera 11.50</a></strong> though.</p>

    1. COI have no Opera 11.11 to test but when you navigate here what do you see: http://jsfiddle.net/UW4Q2/ ? And I would be extremely highly surprised if you didn't see `Blah-blah` as value for the submit button. It would definitely mean that there is a bug in jQuery and/or Opera 11.11 which once again I would be extremely highly surprised.

    2. COI just tested what you posted, and it works perfectly in Opera for me. There bug must be somewhere else in your code, can you post an example of some code that doesn't work in opera?

    3. CO@Darin Dimitrov: That works for me. There shouldn't be a reason why this would suddenly break in Opera 11.11.

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).
