    <p>I am trying to call all the input fields with id of the pattern aaa*.bbb where * is a number between 1 to 100.</p> <p>My code is:</p> <pre><code> $(document).ready(function(){ $(PATTERN).datepicker({ showOn: 'both' }); }); </code></pre> <p>My problems are:</p> <ol> <li><p>If the id one of the input fields is simply "aaa.bbb" and I use <code>PATTERN = "#aaa\\.bbb"</code> then I can open the calendar, but no date is written into the input field when I click on a date... However if I omit the dot from the id and use <code>PATTERN = "#aaabbb"</code> I can select a date by the calendar. Hence I conclude that a dot in the id will not let me select a date by the calendar. How could it be??</p></li> <li><p>Suppose I solve the dot issue from (1), I actually want to call only the relevant INPUT fields. (suppose again the id one of the input fields is simply "aaa.bbb") so I tried something like <code>PATTERN = "input[id$='\\.bbb']"</code> but it did not work (the calendar button would not appear at all. Even though it is explained here: <a href="http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/" rel="nofollow">http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/</a> that in order to escape the dot character I "must escape the character with two backslashes: <code>\\.</code>" However when I try <code>PATTERN = "input[id$='\.bbb']"</code> the calendar button does appear, but again clicking on a date in the calendar would not cause the date to be written in the input field. Where do they say in the documentation that I have to use only one \ to escape the dot?</p></li> <li><p>Suppose I solve the dot issues from (1) and (2), how do I write that the pattern is of the form aaa*.bbb ???</p></li> </ol> <p>Thanks!</p>

    1. COThe double backslash escape method is only for use in `$('#id')` selectors. Using the attribute selector should not require it

    2. COOk, and why is it that no date is being selected when I click on the calendar?

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.
