    <p><strong>Update:</strong> <a href="http://hacks.mozilla.org/2011/09/whats-new-for-web-developers-in-firefox-7/" rel="noreferrer"><code>text-overflow: ellipsis</code> is now supported</a> as of Firefox 7 (released September 27th 2011). Yay! My original answer follows as a historical record.</p> <p>Justin Maxwell has cross browser CSS solution. It does come with the downside however of not allowing the text to be selected in Firefox. Check out <a href="http://mattsnider.com/css/css-string-truncation-with-ellipsis/" rel="noreferrer">his guest post on Matt Snider's blog</a> for the full details on how this works.</p> <p>Note this technique also prevents updating the content of the node in JavaScript using the <code>innerHTML</code> property in Firefox. See the end of this post for a workaround.</p> <p><strong>CSS</strong></p> <pre><code>.ellipsis { white-space: nowrap; overflow: hidden; text-overflow: ellipsis; -o-text-overflow: ellipsis; -moz-binding: url('assets/xml/ellipsis.xml#ellipsis'); } </code></pre> <p><strong><code>ellipsis.xml</code> file contents</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;bindings xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl" xmlns:xbl="http://www.mozilla.org/xbl" xmlns:xul="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul" &gt; &lt;binding id="ellipsis"&gt; &lt;content&gt; &lt;xul:window&gt; &lt;xul:description crop="end" xbl:inherits="value=xbl:text"&gt;&lt;children/&gt;&lt;/xul:description&gt; &lt;/xul:window&gt; &lt;/content&gt; &lt;/binding&gt; &lt;/bindings&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>Updating node content</strong></p> <p>To update the content of a node in a way that works in Firefox use the following:</p> <pre><code>var replaceEllipsis(node, content) { node.innerHTML = content; // use your favorite framework to detect the gecko browser if (YAHOO.env.ua.gecko) { var pnode = node.parentNode, newNode = node.cloneNode(true); pnode.replaceChild(newNode, node); } }; </code></pre> <p>See <a href="http://mattsnider.com/javascript/dynamically-updating-content-of-firefox-ellipsis-hack/" rel="noreferrer">Matt Snider's post for an explanation of how this works</a>.</p>

    1. COThat's awesome, thanks for pointing it out! The unselectable text and restrictions on what content can go in the truncated div are a shame, but generally that looks like a good solution.

    2. COOnly real frustration I've hit is that spaces are rendered as &nbsp;, so indentation isn't really feasible... =/

    3. COI ran across this same problem too. I can't believe Firefox doesn't support this in some form yet.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
