    <p>So I've been scouring the internet for a solution that I thought was going to be common and easy, but it seems that all the links I've browsed upon are either more than what I need or they just glaze over the parts I need and want to understand.</p> <p>I'm developing a site where I would like to have a field where users can type in a state, it will autosuggest possible states and when a user selects a state it will redirect the page to another url. So: if they select "Alaska, AK" they get directed to "http://.../states/alaska"</p> <p>From all that I've searched through, the <a href="http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/#remote" rel="nofollow">jquery UI autosuggest remote source</a>, seems to be the closest to what I need. I liked that I wasn't needing to go through a database, the values are in the "search.php" file.</p> <p>In the search.php file the values are inserted as: </p> <pre><code>$q = strtolower($_GET["term"]); if (!$q) return; $items = array( "Great Bittern"=&gt;"Botaurus stellaris", "Little Grebe"=&gt;"Tachybaptus ruficollis", "Black-necked Grebe"=&gt;"Podiceps nigricollis", "Little Bittern"=&gt;"Ixobrychus minutus", ... </code></pre> <p>I've tested that I can change the values here to:</p> <pre><code>$q = strtolower($_GET["term"]); if (!$q) return; $items = array( "Alabama, AL"=&gt;"http://.../states/alabama", "Alaksa, AK"=&gt;"http://.../states/alaska", "Arizona, AZ"=&gt;"http://.../states/arizona", ... </code></pre> <p>In the HTML the code is:</p> <pre><code>$(function() { function log( message ) { $( "&lt;div/&gt;" ).text( message ).prependTo( "#log" ); $( "#log" ).scrollTop( 0 ); } $( "#birds" ).autocomplete({ source: "search.php", minLength: 2, select: function( event, ui ) { log( ui.item ? "Selected: " + ui.item.value + " aka " + ui.item.id : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value ); } }); }); </code></pre> <p>I don't need it to show a log, how do I reformat this to get the page to redirect when selected or when the user hits the submit button?</p>

    1. COby the way it seems like there's a lot of related files that need to be attached in order for this to work, so if anyone has anything smaller, do tell.

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.
