    <p>I have a div with links in it. And I'm lining them up one over the other with <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> tags because I couldn't figure out how to add vertical spacingn with CSS. I tried adding a bottom margin and a bottom padding to the a style rule but it didn't seem to have any effect (why?). I could add another <code>&lt;br&gt;</code> tag to separate them more but I have to assume there's a nicer way to do this with CSS that I just haven't been able to figure out.</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt; &lt;html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; font-weight:normal; font-size:12pt; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, serif, sans-serif; background:lime; } #linksouter { margin: 0; padding: 0; border-style:solid; border-width:0px; position:absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 80px; background: blue; text-align:left; } #linksinner { margin: 80px 0 0 .5em; width:100%; background:fuchsia; display:inline; height:100%; } #linksinner a { color:red; text-decoration: none; background:yellow; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="linksouter"&gt; &lt;div id="linksinner"&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="#"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

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.
