    <p>My regular javascript code seems to be outputting stuff to the page either incorrectly or in the wrong order, which is weird because the code is very simple (maybe 20 lines tops). My code is below. Note:</p> <ul> <li><code>pttr_data.length</code> will return 150 </li> <li><code>clean_array.length</code> will return 4. </li> <li><code>output</code> is a div object, i.e. var output = document.getElementById("results");</li> </ul> <p>I want my code to output like this: </p> <pre><code>&lt;div&gt;matcha matchb matchc matchn &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>But instead it returns:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div/&gt;matcha matchb matchc match </code></pre> <p>Here is my code, in which I placed random characters to figure out where stuff is going (you'll see the <code>;;;, |||, [[[, }}}</code> in there surrounding the divs):</p> <pre><code>var len = pttr_data.length; for (var i = 0; i &lt; len; i++) { var clean_array = pttr_data[i].match(RegExp(rexp.value, flags.value)); output.innerHTML += ";;;&lt;div&gt;|||"; var lengthy = clean_array.length; for (var j = 1; j &lt; lengthy; j++) { if( clean_array[j] ) { output.innerHTML += clean_array[j] + ' '; } else { output.innerHTML += 'NULL '; } } out.innerHTML += "[[[&lt;/div&gt;}}}\n"; } </code></pre> <p>This code returns:</p> <pre><code>;;;&lt;div&gt;|||&lt;/div&gt;matcha matchb matchc [[[}}} </code></pre> <p>Can someone explain why this occurs? Do javascript for loops operate independently (and thus finish at varying speeds), even if they are nested? This makes no sense though, why would someone design a scripting language like that?<br> How could my code output <code>&lt;div/&gt;blah</code> instead of <code>&lt;div&gt;blah&lt;/div&gt;</code> ? </p> <p>Thanks</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.
