Body
<p>The output I am getting is this html:</p> <pre><code><form action="?next=/pm/write/" method="post"> <label>Recipient:</label> <ul class="errorlist"><li>This field is required.</li></ul> <input type="text" name="recipients" id="id_recipients" /> <br /> <label>Subject:</label> <ul class="errorlist"><li>This field is required.</li></ul> <input id="id_subject" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="120" /> <br /> <label>Body:</label> <textarea id="id_body" rows="12" cols="55" name="body"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Send" class="yes" /> <input type="reset" value="Clear" class="no" /> </form> </code></pre> <p>Here's the Javascript:</p> <pre><code>$('#ajaxForm input[type="submit"]').live('click', function(e) { $.ajax({ url: '/pm/write/', type: 'post', data: $('#ajaxForm form').serialize(), success: function(output) { if (output.search('errorlist') != -1) { alert('error found'); } else { alert('all good'); } } }); e.preventDefault(); }); </code></pre> <p>As you can see the output does contain the string "errorlist" and the error I get is "error found". That's good but the problem is I always get this alert even when the output does not contain that "errorlist" string, how to fix this?</p> <h2>UPDATE</h2> <p>Here's what the output looks like when there are no errors:</p> <pre><code><form action="" method="post"> <label>Recipient:</label> <input type="text" name="recipients" id="id_recipients" /> <br /> <label>Subject:</label> <input id="id_subject" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="120" /> <br /> <label>Body:</label> <textarea id="id_body" rows="12" cols="55" name="body"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Send" class="yes" /> <input type="reset" value="Clear" class="no" /> </form> </code></pre>

Guidance

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.
