    <p>I have a small commenting system that I have modified and try implement into the site. It's in 'ajax'. When the jQuery with HTML is embedded into the page the commenting system works fine - i.e. when the user clicks on a submit button the code returns 'false', stops the page from refreshing and submits data. BUT when I implemented the code within my site and placed it in a seperate .js file the code for some reason doesn't work properly. I mean - the page after the onclick refreshes. Why is that so ? The code is not changed at all - when on its own, it works but not in the index.php site when implemented. I tried to change input type to 'button' and call a function from onclick - the page doesn't refresh but also doesn't insert the input..I'm running out of ideas as to why it is that so. Here's the code:</p> <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () { $(".submit").click(function () { var name = $("#name").val(); var email = $("#email").val(); var comment_area = $("#comment_area").val(); var dataString = 'name=' + name + '&amp;email=' + email + '&amp;comment_area=' + comment_area; var emailReg = /^([\w-\.]+@([\w-]+\.)+[\w-]{2,4})?$/; var emailaddressVal = $("#email").val(); if (name == '' || !emailReg.test(emailaddressVal) || comment == '') { alert('Please enter valid data and type in message'); return false; } else { $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "comments.php", data: dataString, cache: false, success: function (html) { $("#com_list").append(html); $("#com_list").fadeIn("slow"); $("#flash").fadeOut('fast'); } }); } return false; }); }); //END //COM LIST //HTML / PHP &lt;div class="slider"&gt; &lt;form id="comment_form" name="comment_form" method="post" action="#" enctype="multipart/form-data"&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="name" name="name" maxlength="16"/&gt;&amp;nbsp;Name&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="email" name="email"/&gt;&amp;nbsp;Email&amp;nbsp;(will not show)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;textarea id="comment_area" name="comment_area" maxlength="1000"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" class="submit" name="submit_comment" value="submit"/&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp; nbsp;comment or &lt;a href="index.php" id="cancel" onmousedown="$('.slider').hide();$('#com_list').show();"&gt;&lt;u&gt;cancel&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>//comments.php</p> <pre><code> if($_POST) { $name=$_POST['name']; $email=$_POST['email']; $comment_area=$_POST['comment_area']; //$lowercase = strtolower($email); //$image = md5( $lowercase ); $insert = mysqli_query($connect,"INSERT INTO comments (name,email,comment,com_date) VALUES ('$name','$email','$comment_area',curdate())"); } </code></pre> <p>////////////////</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions..</p>

    2. COHi. Yes - I'm absolutely positive. The .js file is included in index.php withing script tags. I also have only one form in index.php - and the code works but the problem is about the input type='submit' - when clicked it refreshes the page instead of returning false.

    3. COI also tried to implement the jQuery code within the head tag in index.php. The same thing - it refreshes the page..

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.
