    <p>If you style the "s with <code>font-style: italic</code> they appear to closely mimic the smart-quotes, but I'm not sure that you'd be any happier surrounding each and every instance with <code>&lt;em&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;/em&gt;</code>.</p> <pre><code>.magic-quotes {font-style: italic; } &lt;span class="magic-quotes"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;quoted-text&lt;span class="magic-quotes"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>Or, possibly if you use the <code>:before</code> and <code>:after</code> psuedo-classes,</p> <pre><code> .stuff-to-magic-quote:before {content: '"'; font-style: italic; } .stuff-to-magic-quote:after {content: '"'; font-style: italic; } &lt;span class="stuff-to-magic-quote"&gt;this text would be quoted&lt;/span&gt;. </code></pre> <p>But then you're not going to get the quotes in the copy &amp; paste.</p> <p>I think you might need some form of JS to achieve what you want; to style the quotes automatically, and allow for their being copy &amp; pasted in non-magic-quoted format.</p> <p>Edited to add that I share your dislike of magic-quotes and their copy &amp; paste issues. And later edited to amend the heinous <code>&lt;em&gt;</code> tags, and make them, instead, <code>&lt;span&gt;</code>s.</p> <p>...it occurs to me, now, that perhaps you could go a little further, but it might be too much typing for too little -real- reward.</p> <pre><code>.original-quotes-open {margin: 0 -2em 0 0; z-index: 0; } .original-quotes-close {margin: 0 0 0 -2em; z-index: 0; } /* the idea of the -2em and z-index is to position the original non-magic quotes behind the text, but not remove them from the document */ span.quoted-text {z-index: 2; /* or higher than the .original-quotes... classes */ span.quoted-text:before {content: "“"; } span.quoted-text:after {content: "”"; } &lt;span class="original-quotes-open"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quoted-text"&gt;This text is quoted&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="original-quotes-close"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>But, honestly, I'm not seeing a positive outcome from the extra effort.</p>

    1. COWhy emphasize quote? Using semantic element for non-semantic hack is just as bad as abuse of presentational element. In this case <i> *is* appropriate. You only want to change looks, not meaning!

    2. COWell, yes. Agreed; I'll change that. Honestly? It was just less typing... =/

    3. COIn Opera this gives "“This text is quoted”". Unselectable GC in Gecko/WebKit is only implementation issue and should not be relied upon.

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.
