    <p>I have a firm grasp on XHTML &amp; CSS, but PHP &amp; Javascript look like magic to me.</p> <p>I'm building a discussion site using the PHP-based <a href="http://textpattern.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Textpattern CMS</a>. When users are logged in, they can use a public-side form to add a new discussion topic. There are a lot of input fields, grouped by the HTML <code>fieldset</code> element within a single <code>form</code> element that adds a new row to a specific database table. What I want to do is <strong>show only one fieldset at a time</strong>, inserting <em>previous</em> and <em>next</em> links that will allow people to <strong>navigate between fieldsets</strong>.</p> <p>Textpattern comes bundled with jquery, and I found a <a href="http://blog.vokle.com/index.php/2008/08/22/babysteps/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jquery plugin that describes this functionality</a>. But I can't get it to work.</p> <p>Here's what I have in my document <code>head</code>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;style type="text/css" media="screen"&gt; fieldset {display: none;} &lt;/style&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://site.url/scripts/jquery.babysteps-0.2.1.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"&gt; $('#step1').bindStep('#step2'); $('#step2').bindStep('#step3'); $('#step1').show(); &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>My form is something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;fieldset id="step1"&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Step 1 Fields&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;!-- fields --&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;fieldset id="step2"&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Step 2 Fields&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;!-- fields --&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;fieldset id="step3"&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Step 3 Fields&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;!-- fields --&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Post this Article!" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>The results are that the <code>style</code> declaration hides <em>every</em> <code>fieldset</code>, but the script doesn't show <code>step1</code> at all. I've double-checked all the file paths, and I've tried this using a link to my local jquery bundle instead of the Google version, but I get the same results.</p> <p>I would be happy if I could get this working, but if there is another way to achieve this without the babysteps plugin, I'd be happy with that outcome as well.</p> <p>Any guidance or concrete advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Step-by-step instructions or practical troubleshooting questions (Do you have your computer plugged in?) might also be helpful.</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</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.
