    <p>I am minfying 100's of Javascript files on a windows OS and ran into a issue with almost half of them. It turns out that the minfiying compressor cannot properly minify js files that has a function spearated by a dot. For the YUI compressor it deletes the contents of the file when such a situation happens, and for Ajaxminifier, it just ignores the dot and take the function name before it.</p> <p>Example of the function in question:</p> <pre><code>function window.onload() {} Error Message: :missing ( before function parameters </code></pre> <p>Using the YUI compressor as an MSBuild task and command line both yeild the same results.</p> <p>Command line example:</p> <pre><code>java -jar yuicompressor.jar --type js --charset utf-8 -o D:\foo.js D:\foo-min.js </code></pre> <hr> <p>Using the Ajax Minifier example:</p> <p>Command line:</p> <pre><code>AjaxMin.exe -o D:\foo.js D:\foo-min.js </code></pre> <hr> <p>However, one solution is to rewrite the function and the minification process works great Example:</p> <pre><code>window.onload = function() {} </code></pre> <p>But this is not an option for us, right now. Does anyone know about this problem and able to provide a solution?</p> <hr> <p>Thanks. Yes, I did inherit these files and I am yet to determine why it was written this way. I dont believe there is any processor that converts it to proper JS..I do know that the web app only runs on IE, this may be the reason why this is working. On firefox etc, it may not be the case.I am looking to get this changed</p>

    2. CO`window.onload = function() {}` is valid JavaScript. If rewriting your code so that it isn't broken is "not an option", you're out of options.

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.
