    <p>So I'm running into a weird issue with jQuery. Basically I have two elements on a page – a div that's getting a page fragment loaded into a child div via .load() (#optionOne in the example below) and another div that has static content (#optionTwo). Whenever a function gets called (every 10 seconds or so), it randomly selects one or the other to show() or hide(). Here's the javascript:</p> <pre><code> var editableOrSocial = Math.floor(Math.random()*2); if (editableOrSocial == 0) { $j('#optionTwo').hide(); $j('#optionOne').show(); $j('.thecontent').load('http://www.example.com/ .post-content', function() { }); } else { console.log('else called!'); $j('#optionOne').hide(); $j('#optionTwo').show(); } </code></pre> <p>Now this works perfectly if I remove the .load(). It will switch back and forth, show and hide each div appropriately. However as soon as I add the .load() in, it gets "stuck" on that option. Even if the else gets called, it doesn't actually show or hide either div (hence the little debugging "else called!" message in there... I wanted to make sure it worked).</p> <p>Anyone run into this issue before? Is .load() somehow overriding stuff? I'm extremely confused.</p> <p>EDIT: Nevermind, just figured it out right after I posted this. Changing this: </p> <pre><code> $j('.thecontent').load('http://www.example.com/ .post-content', function() { }); </code></pre> <p>to this</p> <pre><code> $j('#optionOne .thecontent').load('http://www.example.com/ .post-content', function() { }); </code></pre> <p>fixed it. However I'd still be interested in understanding why this happened. I'm guessing it maybe had something to do with load triggering a display state?</p>

    1. COCan you use a class as a target like that? (.post-content)

    2. CO... Actually as soon as I posted the question I started thinking along the same lines. Turned out I was able to answer my own question: Changing it to ('#optionOne .thecontent') and it magically started working. Of course that happens as soon as I post it here. :)

    3. COBut yes, using a class is probably sloppy... it would probably break if you had more than one instance of it on the page. I should probably change it to an ID.

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.
