    <p>I ran into an interesting problem. On my site, i swap out content dynamically when hovering over a certain link. This is accomplished by something similar to:</p> <pre><code>$('#box').html($('#newcontent').html()); </code></pre> <p>Now inside this <code>#newcontent</code> part, there is a <code>&lt;button&gt;</code>-Element to which I assigned a click event like this: (inside the <code>$(document).ready()</code>-function)</p> <pre><code>$("button#buttonName").click(function(){ $("div#containerName").toggleClass("hidden"); } </code></pre> <p><code>hidden</code> is a css-Class doing the display:none magic. The container <code>#containerName</code> is <strong>outside</strong> both the element containing the button and the element containing the structure that is being changed with <code>html()</code>. </p> <p>Mockup of the structure at this point</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="somethingthatwhenhoveredoverwillswapthecontent"&gt;Hover over me!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="box"&gt;Change me!&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="newcontent" class="hidden"&gt;I am renewed! &lt;button id="buttonName"&gt;Show the weird box at the bottom&lt;/button&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="containerName" class="hidden"&gt; I am content that is only shown when the button is clicked &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>So what happens is this: the page is loaded, the content swapping script works fine, but the button will not fire it's click event, which for testing reasons didn't even give an <code>alert('whatever');</code>. It looks like once the html() swaps the content from the <code>&lt;div id="newcontent"&gt;</code> to the <code>&lt;div id="box"&gt;</code>, <strong>the event gets unbound</strong> (I suspect).</p> <p>Is this just me not grasping a concept or is the whole approach done wrong?</p>

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.
