    <p>What is the proper way to get autocomplete working with remote data? I read the document at </p> <p><a href="http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete" rel="nofollow">http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/Autocomplete</a></p> <p>and ran the example code. The example worked just fine for local data stored in a JS array, but when I used a remote URL, it doesn't work. I see the autocomplete HTTP request being generated, and I can see my local web server responding with the correct data. But the autocomplete info does not pop up.</p> <p>Here is my .html code, it is only different by 2 lines from the example in the jquery documentation:</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/demo/main.css" type="text/css" /&gt; &lt;link rel="stylesheet" href="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.css" type="text/css" /&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/lib/jquery.bgiframe.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/lib/jquery.dimensions.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://dev.jquery.com/view/trunk/plugins/autocomplete/jquery.autocomplete.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ url = "http://localhost:8000/autocomplete/" $("#example").autocomplete(url); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; API Reference: &lt;input id="example" /&gt; (try "C" or "E") &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is there anything else needed in the .htm file? Should I change the data format returned by the server? Currently when I type "fr" into the text box, my server returns this:</p> <pre><code>["fractal","FRACTAL","fractalzebra","frad","Fraet",] </code></pre> <p>I am just trying to display a simple list of strings, I don't need to include any additional data in the server response unless it turns out to be required by jquery.</p> <p>Thanks in advance, this problem has really been stumping me.</p> <p>-Travis</p>

    1. COLooks like the JSON you are returning is invalid. Try taking that last comma off there. Does it work then?

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).
