    <p>So I've got some <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> tags that I would like to show the entire contents in IE. I've looked around and found a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73960/dropdownlist-width-in-ie">few</a> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/682764/select-dropdown-with-fixed-width-cutting-off-content-in-ie">fixes</a>, but I don't want to include YUI since I'm already using jQuery elsewhere, and would prefer to keep the selects on the page instead of replacing it with DIVs.</p> <p>In the code that I've come up with, FF3 works great. In Internet Explorer (6,7,8) the first click on the <code>&lt;select&gt;</code> flashes the drop down and then it disappears. I've tried <code>focus</code> and <code>mousedown</code> in place of the <code>click</code> event in the code, no success.</p> <p>If I remove both of the setting of <code>element.css</code> in <code>autoWidth</code> the drop downs work as expected, without the bonus of having a nice width. Does anyone know what would cause the setting of the css to make the drop down fail in IE?</p> <pre><code>&lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var count = 0; autoWidth = function(e) { $element = $(e.target) $element.css("width","auto"); if($element.width() &lt; $element.data("originalWidth")) { $element.css("width", $element.data("originalCSSWidth")); } } resetWidth = function(e) { $element = $(e.target) $element.css("width", $element.data("originalCSSWidth")); $("#counter").text(++count); } recordEvent = function(e) { $("#event").text($("#event").text() + " " + e.type); } dropDownIEWidthFix = function() { //if($.browser.msie) //{ $dropDown = $(this); $dropDown.data("originalWidth", $dropDown.width()); $dropDown.data("originalCSSWidth", $dropDown.css("width")); $dropDown.blur(recordEvent); $dropDown.blur(resetWidth); $dropDown.change(recordEvent); $dropDown.change(resetWidth); $dropDown.click(recordEvent); $dropDown.click(autoWidth); //} }; $(function() { $("select.officeItemList").each(dropDownIEWidthFix); }); function trackingSelectionChanged(select) { $("#event").text($("#event").text() + " inlineOnChange"); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div style="overflow:hidden;width:148px;"&gt; &lt;select class="officeItemList" style="width:148px;" onchange="trackingSelectionChanged(this);"&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;erasersdffffffffffeeefefsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfdsfsdfefesf&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;pencil&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;ruler&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="5"&gt;ink&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="7"&gt;A4 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="8"&gt;A3 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="9"&gt;erasersdffffffffffeeefefsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfdsfsdfefesf&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="10"&gt;executive&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="11"&gt;janitor&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="12"&gt;developer&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="overflow:hidden;width:160px;"&gt; &lt;select class="officeItemList" style="width:160px;" onchange="trackingSelectionChanged(this);"&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;pencil&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;ruler&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="5"&gt;ink&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="7"&gt;A4 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="8"&gt;A3 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="9"&gt;erasersdffffffffffeeefefsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfsdfdsfsdfefesf&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="10"&gt;executive&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="11"&gt;janitor&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="12"&gt;developer&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div style="overflow:hidden;width:160px;"&gt; &lt;select class="officeItemList" style="width:160px;" onchange="trackingSelectionChanged(this);"&gt; &lt;option value="1"&gt;eee&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="3"&gt;pencil&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="4"&gt;ruler&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="5"&gt;ink&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="7"&gt;A4 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="8"&gt;A3 paper&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="9"&gt;ffff&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="10"&gt;executive&lt;/option&gt; &lt;option value="11"&gt;janitor&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; AdjustWidth fired :&lt;span id="counter"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; times &lt;div id="event"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; </code></pre>

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).
