    <p>For the sake of the OP who has not added jQuery to the list of tags ( I congratulate you ), I'll add a small navigation plugin in pure JavaScript. </p> <p><strong>Disclosure - the credit for the actual logic would go to Eric Priestley of Facebook fame as this was lifted from his Javelin JS library.</strong> </p> <p>I'm posting a link to the fiddle <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/55R39/30/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. I also assume from your question that you already have a <em>search</em> solution in place and are simply looking for a navigation solution.</p> <p>Cross posting from fiddle. I've commented a lot in the code, so should be self explanatory. Though if you do have doubts, get in touch.</p> <p><strong>HTML</strong> Can be anything you desire. For brevity, I've added this</p> <pre><code>&lt;input id='control' type='text' placeholder='Search text here' /&gt; &lt;!-- List of results - hardcoded for now --&gt; &lt;ul id='hardpoint' class='hidden'&gt; &lt;li class='item'&gt;Search item 1&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class='item'&gt;Search item 2&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class='item'&gt;Search item 3&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li class='item'&gt;Search item 4&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt;​ </code></pre> <p><strong>The code</strong></p> <pre><code>(function() { /** * Helper functions */ var bind = function( context, func, more ){ if (typeof func !== 'function') { throw new Error ("No function supplied to bind function"); } var bound = Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments ).slice(2); if (func.bind) { return func.bind.apply(func, [context].concat(bound)); } return function() { return func.apply(context || window, bound.concat(Array.prototype.slice.call( arguments )));

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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