    <p>I'm trying to make a bookmarklet that does something with the selected text on any given website, but I'm having trouble when the selected text is in an iframe.</p> <p>The bookmarklet link looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a id="bookmarklet" href="javascript:(function(){if(window.myBookmarklet!==undefined) {myBookmarklet();} else{document.body.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src='http://www.mywebsite.com/bookmarklet.js?';}})(); "&gt;Bookmarklet&lt;/a&gt; </code></pre> <p>And bookmarklet.js looks like:</p> <pre><code>(function(){ var v = "1.3.2"; if (window.jQuery === undefined || window.jQuery.fn.jquery &lt; v) { var done = false; var script = document.createElement("script"); script.src = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/" + v + "/jquery.min.js"; script.onload = script.onreadystatechange = function(){ if (!done &amp;&amp; (!this.readyState || this.readyState == "loaded" || this.readyState == "complete")) { done = true; initBookmarklet(); } }; document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(script); } else { initBookmarklet(); } function initBookmarklet() { (window.myBookmarklet = function() { if($('iframe').length &gt; 0) { $('iframe').each(function(){ var iframe = $(this).get(0); var win= iframe.contentWindow? iframe.contentWindow : iframe.contentDocument.defaultView; alert (win.getSelection().toString()); }); } })(); } })(); </code></pre> <p>I tested a few things - I can definitely get the frame object, and return its html, but getSelection just returns empty.</p> <p>Is it a cross domain thing, because my bookmarklet.js is somewhere else? </p> <p>UPDATE: For reference, the page I am specifically trying this on is this one: <a href="http://cases.iclr.co.uk/Subscr/search.aspx?path=WLR%20Dailies/WLRD%202011/wlrd2012-246" rel="nofollow">http://cases.iclr.co.uk/Subscr/search.aspx?path=WLR%20Dailies/WLRD%202011/wlrd2012-246</a></p>

    1. COI doubt it: you can certainly get iframe selections from the containing page. Does clicking the bookmarklet visibly destroy the selection?

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.

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