    <p>I have the following in my node server using express (truncated to the important parts):</p> <pre><code>var app = express.createServer(); app.all(/test/,function(req,res){ console.log(req.headers); console.log(req.body); res.send(""); }); function appStart(cobrands){ app.configure(function(){ app.use(express.bodyParser()); app.use(express.cookieParser()); app.use('/min',express.static('../min')); app.use('/js',express.static('../js')); app.use('/css',express.static('../css')); app.use('/img',express.static('../img')); }); app.listen(8080); } </code></pre> <p>I then have a simple form that calls out to localhost:8080 like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="http://localhost:8080/test" method="post"&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="test" value="testing"/&gt; &lt;input type="submit" name="submit" value="to node"/&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p>But express.bodyParser doesn't seem to be doing anything, and req.body is undefined. Here's the output of the <code>console.log</code>s: </p> <pre><code>// req.headers { host: 'localhost:8080', 'user-agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_1) AppleWebKit/534.48.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Safari/534.48.3', 'content-length': '27', accept: 'text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8', origin: 'file://', 'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'accept-language': 'en-us', 'accept-encoding': 'gzip, deflate', cookie: '', connection: 'keep-alive' } // req.body undefined </code></pre> <p>Note: <code>content-type</code> is correctly defined as <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code> as it should be for bodyParser to work, and I've verified that it's coming over by popping open the debug tools in Safari and verifying that the form data is present.</p>

    1. COLooking at your code snippet you only had to use app.post('/search', ...) instead of app.get('/search', ...)

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.
