Body
DOJO seems to have some quirks here. I specifically need to have the TabContainer hidden when the page loads, but then become visible after the user clicks a button. The first thing I tried is setting style.display = "none" to start, and then setting style.display = "block" on the click event. Unfortunately, this only partially works- the page will render an invisible box in the right location/dimensions, but not render the actual contents. The box's contents only get rendered when triggered by something else (for example, going to a different FF tab or suspending/resuming firebug will make the box render). If the style.display property is set to be visible on page load, everything works fine. You can toggle the display property and it shows or hides the tabcontainer properly. But if it's set to "none" on page load, it screws up. I tried a workaround of setting the style.display property to "" in the HTML but then immediately setting it to "none" in the Javascript, but it still fails- the change occurs too soon and it needs to happen after the tabcontainer renders (which can take a second or two). Some stripped sample code: HTML: <code><div id="tabContainer" dojoType="dijit.layout.TabContainer" style="width:500px; height:100px;display:none;"</code>> <code></div</code>> and then the Javascript to show the tab on a user click: <pre><code>function initTabs() { var tabContainer = dojo.byId('tabContainer'); tabContainer.style.display = 'block'; } </code></pre> How can I dynamically show/hide a TabContainer without having it start in the shown state?

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.
