    <p>How would i get a response according to a mismatch, or possibly like an Else loop but this doesn't appear to work since i get it even if i answer the question correctly, and if maybe i could do something like and if mismatch or something. I am new to JavaScript, so i cannot solve this myself.</p> <pre><code>var PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); while (PromptAnswer3 === null | PromptAnswer3 === "") { alert("You didn't answer"); PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); } if (PromptAnswer3.match(/^(tennis|bowling|baseball|soccer|basketball|football|cricket|hockey|ice|hockey|rugby|track|golf|horseracing|water polo|swimming|biking|gymnastics|cheer-leading|skiing|snowboarding|iceskating|lacrosse|surfing|archery|boxing|kayaking|diving|spelunking|fencing|karate|judo|rockclimbing|softball|volleyball|wrestling|badminton|javelin throwing|synchronized swimming|yoga|ringette)!?$/i)) { alert("Haha yeah, " + PromptAnswer3 "is pretty awesome."); } while (PromptAnswer3) { alert("I don't think that is a sport."); PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); } </code></pre> <p><strong>Edit [should possibly be added as an answer]</strong></p> <p>This is what i did to make it work. It is simple and easy. I followed some of the peoples advice on the answers and put the if statement in the loop, while (PromptAnswer3), and put an else and a break in the if so that it wouldn't loop after the first time.</p> <pre><code>else { var PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); while (PromptAnswer3 === null | PromptAnswer3 === "") { alert("You didn't answer"); PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); } while (PromptAnswer3) { if (PromptAnswer3.match(/^(tennis|bowling|baseball|soccer|basketball|football|cricket|hockey|ice|hockey|rugby|track|golf|horseracing|water polo|swimming|biking|gymnastics|cheer-leading|skiing|snowboarding|iceskating|lacrosse|surfing|archery|boxing|kayaking|diving|spelunking|fencing|karate|judo|rockclimbing|softball|volleyball|wrestling|badminton|javelin throwing|synchronized swimming|yoga|ringette)!?$/i)) { alert("Haha yeah, " + PromptAnswer3 + "is pretty awesome."); break; } else { alert("I don't think that is a sport."); PromptAnswer3 = prompt("Well, what sports do you like to play?", ""); } } } </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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
