    <p>I have a page with several forms. I am trying to submit one of the forms (say form A) (NOT through Ajax, since I need to load the result page after the submit is processed), BUT I need another form's contents (say form B) to be submitted TOGETHER with form A, i.e. the contents of forms A + B should be submitted TOGETHER to the SAME URL, as one request, and as I said before, NOT as an Ajax request.</p> <p>The submit should be by a POST request. Also, the forms contain ONLY fields that are not file upload (i.e. input, select, textarea fields).</p> <p>I have seen suggestions here such as </p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/315912/posting-submitting-multiple-forms-in-jquery">Posting/submitting multiple forms in jQuery</a></p> <p>or</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5932451/submitting-two-forms-with-a-single-button">Submitting two forms with a single button</a></p> <p>but pay attention that these do not match my case, since the forms are submitted in different requests, and/or they are submitted through Ajax.</p> <p>I was thinking of getting the contents of one of the forms by (the jQuery's) serialize(), but how do I attach that string to a form submitted by POST?</p> <p>Or maybe you have other ideas how to accomplish this?</p> <p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong></p> <p>Based on the ideas of Sheepy and YoTsumi, I wrote the following code. I am also using the answer by Pointy from the following link:</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2368593/submit-multiple-forms-to-same-page">submit multiple forms to same page</a></p> <pre><code>//Arguments: "name"s of forms to submit. //First argument: the form which according to its "action" all other forms will be submitted. //Example: mergeForms("form1","form2","form3","form4") function mergeForms() { var forms = []; $.each($.makeArray(arguments), function(index, value) { forms[index] = document.forms[value]; }); var targetForm = forms[0]; $.each(forms, function(i, f) { if (i != 0) { $(f).find('input, select, textarea') .hide() .appendTo($(targetForm)); } }); $(targetForm).submit(); } </code></pre>

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.
