    <p>I have 2 jquery functions: the first modifies the value of a particular attribute, and also updates the server-side database so that this value is rendered in future page loads. The second one retrieves the value of this attribute.</p> <p>If the first function is run, and the page is refreshed (so that the value is retrieved from the server and exists in the DOM on pageload), then the second one works as expected, giving the value. However, if the first function is run, but the page is not refreshed, the second function returns an empty string (the original value).</p> <p>To check that something else isn't the problem, if you run the first function, and then inspect the page's source, it exactly matches the source of the refreshed page. However, jquery seems to ignore the updated value and instead retrieve that which existed before being modified.</p> <p>Surely there is some way around this?</p> <p>Many thanks</p> <p>edit: This is how the relevent sourcecode looks when inspecting, regardless of whether you inspect it right after the value is updated using jquery, or after refreshing the page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="hidden" class="answer_key" name="answer_key" value="ahVkZXZ-Y3liZXJuYXV0c3Byb2plY3RyEQsSC1JlYnVzQW5zd2VyGEAM" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>Why, then, does answer_key's value = "" if you don't first refresh the page?</p> <p>edit2: this is driving me insane, can't figure out what the problem is. I recreated the basic functionality in very minimal form here: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/eX78r/1/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/eX78r/1/</a> but it works as it should, suggesting there is something peculiar going on in my code.</p> <p>With that in mind, here's a link to the whole lot. If anyone can spot what the problem might be, I'd be extremely grateful - I've been stumped on this for most of the day! <a href="http://pastebin.com/enn1Eca4" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/enn1Eca4</a></p>

    2. COI've just seen a potential answer in another question - the usage of jquery's live() function. That might be the issue - if it isn't I'll return with a few code snippets.

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.
