    <p>I'm looking to make a clever animation that makes three sucessive right angle quotes like <code> &raquo; &raquo; &raquo;</code> glow successively from left to right, then back to the left-most one again. I'm wondering if this might be a clever effect for other developers to use as well, and could be good Google-fodder. </p> <p>The inspiration for this is obviously the slide-to-unlock screen on an iPhone, where the text glows in a progressive manner. </p> <p>I do know about CSS3 animations with keyframes and have implemented these successfully before, but am not sure how to code in the part with the loop. I'm guessing Javascript is the answer here, with some kind of loop. I already have jQuery on the page I'm using so it wouldn't be anything extra to use jQuery functionality. </p> <p>My HTML structure would be something like this:</p> <p><code>&lt;span class="glowquote"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;raquo;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;raquo;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&amp;raquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;</code></p> <p>Any ideas on the best/most clever way to implement this? I realize not all browsers support CSS3 animations if they are to be used and honey badger don't care, I only need to support modern webkit and gecko implementations.</p> <p><strong>Edit 1:</strong> added span tags around each <code>&amp;raquo;</code> to allow changing CSS properties individually for each right angle quote in JavaScript, as most people have done. For the guy who did the CSS3 method, not necessary!</p> <p><strong>Edit 2:</strong> Just for absolute clarity on what the goal is, the left-most one will glow a certain color first, using a CSS <code>color:green</code> etc. change and <code>transition:color linear 0.4s</code> etc, then the next one will do the same right after with maybe a short delay. </p> <p><strong>Edit 3:</strong> For further clarification, the exact animation I'm looking for looks like this, though in the example they've used a <em>VERY</em> hack-ish method that I don't think will work for a lot of people. I'm wondering if we are just coming up against the limitations of javascript/css3 or if there is more refinement possible.

I wish StackOverflow would allow for more than one correct answer. For anyone coming to this question from Google or elsewhere, make sure to browse the whole question to choose what may work the best for you! I figured that since this is mostly just for fun, I would feel okay leaving the Firefox &amp; IE guys out in the dark. You can see what my final implemention was here: <a href="http://ezrahub.com/board/" rel="nofollow">http://ezrahub.com/board/</a> at the top of the page, where it is used to expand the posting form. One quirk is that if you change the text size, you will also have to change the property <code>background-size</code> in your CSS stylesheet. I used <code>background-size: 120px 50%;</code> for mine, and if you play around with it you can see how the effect changes.</p> <p>Hope everyone has fun with this and enjoy using it on your creations!

    2. COYeah, that backlit spotlighting effect is possible with advanced CSS3, but it would take some clever creativity to get it tuned in. http://threejs.org could do it, of course, and webgl is supported in the browsers you mentioned. Just a thought. `;)`

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.
