We took this a step further and navigated the user from the events list to the details of the particular event that the user selected. Toward the end of the chapter, we created a new jQuery Mobile page that holds the contact form. We then created the JavaScript to do the client-side form validations and then saw how to post the form data to the MySQL database table using PHP.
