    <p>I'm new to javascript and am trying to start somewhat simple. Is it possible to create a function that contains a form object that can be populated by an onclick event?</p> <p>Right now I have a page with 7 buttons, each button is a submit for a separate form, they all link to the same php file on the backside of my site where they are processed. I would like to somehow create one single form, possibly in a javascript function, that would accept variables from the buttons when clicked and then submit the form to my php script. it will technically function the same as it does now with 7 different forms, one for each button, but will hopefully cut back on the code.</p> <p>This example is only how I logically thought it might work from a couple of weeks searching around the internet and gathering bits from here and there, but in reality it is far from functional.</p> <p>example:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function form_variables(opt1,opt2,opt3){ &lt;form name='mySelectionForm' action='form.php?action=form_action' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='number' value='" + opt1 + "' /&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='id' value='" + opt2 + "' /&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='option' value='" + opt3 + "' id='options' /&gt; &lt;/form&gt;; formObject.submit(); } </code></pre> <p>Then this would be populated by an onclick event like this.</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href="javascript: void(0);" onclick="form_variables('9','1','6');" title="submit_button1" value="Button 1" class="cssButton"&gt;My Selection&lt;/a&gt; </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).
