    <p>I have two jQuery files- one [newForms_jQuery.js] being called on userNewItemForm and adminNewItemForm, another [editForms_jQuery.js] being called on userEditItemForm and adminEditItemForm. </p> <p>I'd like to combine these two files into one jQuery file and I wanted to use a case statement. </p> <p>I found out that the syntax would be </p> <pre><code>switch(n) { case 1: execute code block 1 break; case 2: execute code block 2 break; default: code to be executed if n is different from case 1 and 2 } </code></pre> <p>I am getting the name of the file to differentiate btw New and Edit forms and then doing something based on that. My first thought was to use the logical OR in my case, such as:</p> <pre><code>case (url="userNewItemForm.aspx") || (url="adminNewItemForm.aspx"): //do something case (url="userEditItemForm.aspx") || (url="adminEditItemForm.aspx"): //do soemthing else </code></pre> <p>However, then I found <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/1806279/429694">https://stackoverflow.com/a/1806279/429694</a>. So, I revised my script to:</p> <pre><code>switch(url) { case "userNewItemForm.aspx": //intentionally left blank to fall through case "adminNewItemForm.aspx": // do new record stuff break; case "userEditItemForm.aspx": //intentionally left blank to fall through case "adminEditItemForm.aspx": //do edit record stuff break; default: alert(url); } </code></pre> <p>This seemed to work, however on further testing, I found that the case statements that did not have break; did not fall through as I'd expected. Any advice?</p> <p>UPDATE1: Following @jbabey's advice, I revised my script to the following, which I thought solved my problem, however it does not entirely. It seems when I open the url that is in the 2nd part of the OR statement, it doesn't pick up the name, and executes the default case instead.</p> <p>Here is my current code</p> <pre><code> function getFileName() { url = document.location.href; //gets the full url. URL is global var after function called url = url.substring(0, (url.indexOf("#") == -1) ? url.length : url.indexOf("#")); //this removes the anchor at the end, if there is one url = url.substring(0, (url.indexOf("?") == -1) ? url.length : url.indexOf("?")); //this removes the query after the file name, if there is one url = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1, url.length); //this removes everything before the last slash in the path return url; //returns filename } $(document).ready(function(){ getFileName(); switch (url) { case ("eacrfNew_jQuery.aspx" || "newItem_jQuery.aspx"): // do new record stuff break; case ("eacrfEdit_jQuery.aspx" || "editItem_jQuery.aspx"): //do edit record stuff break; //close edit record stuff default: // which file did it open? alert(url); } }); // close doc.ready </code></pre> <p>FINAL UPDATE:</p> <p><strong>YOU CANNOT USE LOGICAL OPERATORS IN CASE STATEMENTS</strong> Instead, you must use if...else See <a href="http://www.naveen.com.au/javascript/jquery/switch-case-in-jquery/319" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.naveen.com.au/javascript/jquery/switch-case-in-jquery/319</a> for details.</p> <pre><code>function getFileName() { url = document.location.href; //gets the full url into global var return url; //returns filename } function clearID() { //clears field values } $(window).load(function(){ $(document).ready(function(){ getFileName(); if ((url === "eacrfNew_jQuery.aspx") || (url === "newItem_jQuery.aspx")) { // do new record stuff } else if ((url === "eacrfEdit_jQuery.aspx") || (url === "editItem_jQuery.aspx")) { // do edit record stuff } else { /// default: which file did it open? alert(url); } }); // close doc.ready }); // close window.load </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).
