    <p>In html if a child div is bigger than the parent div it will create scrollbars on the parent div if you set the appropriate style rules.</p> <p>However, I want it so that when an <em>attempt</em> to scroll occurs (by hitting the arrow keys, making the appropriate javascript call on the element) the minimum needed expansion in size occurs on the child occurs such that it can scroll to the degree that it would have scrolled anyway if the child was already that big.</p> <p>To state that again: if the child was 300px width within a parent of 200px width, and I hit right arrow key, and it scrolls 20 pixels to the right, then if the child is 200px in that same scenario, I want it to enlarge in width by 20 pixels and no more if possible, and then scroll 20 pixels to the right.</p> <p>This is all assuming there is no way to make a sub-element scroll within its parents regardless of whether it's actually larger than its parent. There might well be so I apologise in advance if i haven't done enough research. :)</p>

    1. COSo you want the child elements to grow bigger as the user scrolls? Oh and if you haven't done enough research then you should be doing that.

    2. CO@JCOC611 I don't want them to merely grow bigger-- I want them to grow only as large as they have to to allow scrolling to occur by the scrolling distance it would have used if the child element was larger than the max scrolling distance. I didn't say I haven't done enough research, I said I may have not. One can't know what one doesn't know they don't know. Beside which, this site has no reason to exist if the answer is always 'do more research'.

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.
