    <p>For Chromium and Firefox, it appears that the effective precision is at the integer level (I have not tested Internet Explorer). I've created <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/mmfhk/5/" rel="nofollow">this jsFiddle</a> to research the issue, and it appears from my research that in Chromium and Firefox, font sizes specified with sub-integer precision are effectively rounded to the nearest integer.</p> <p>The tests I've done assume that the <code>measureText()</code> method is functioning correctly (which may be a false assumption). The tests have shown some odd behavior for this method (more obvious in Chromium than in Firefox).</p> <p>Using a fixed length string of a repeated character ('m'), I have graphed the measured size of the string as a function of its font size. When using 0.1 for the font size input step size, the output string width remains constant for step sizes of 1.0. These "steps" are centered around the integer font size, and jumps occur at midpoints between integers.</p> <p>The odd behavior observed in Chromium is that at times, the input font size can be varied as much as 2 pixels, with no change in the measured width of the string. This behavior is unexpected, but occurs at regular intervals (offset from zero). The following intervals of input values resulted in no change in measured width: [3.5, 5.5), [12.5, 14.5), [21.5, 23.5), [30.5, 32.5), and so on. The centers of these "big flat steps" seem to be 9 pixels apart (4.5, 13.5, 22.5, 31.5). The first one having a center around half the spacing of the interval between the rest maybe a clue if this is indeed a bug.</p> <p>In Firefox, the odd behavior is much more subtle. If you change the input step size to 1, the graph is nearly linear (as expected).. but periodically the graph gets slightly steeper for an interval of 1. For example, this occurs at [11.5, 12.5) and [35.5, 36.5).</p> <p>If I am overlooking something, or if there is some error in my methods, please comment and let me know. I am not too concerned about the Firefox behavior, but as of now, I consider the behavior in Chromium to be a bug. I may file a bug report, and if so, I will update my answer to include a link.</p>

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.
