    <p><strong>Update:</strong> I just realized that you're not looking for how to specify how many columns to display, but you're looking for tips on how to have your long content overflow into multiple columns. Sorry about the misunderstanding. My original answer below still addresses the issue of specifying how many columns are used in case that is needed.</p> <p>There are some CSS rules for specifying columns (width, number of columns, gutter, etc.). Used with a <code>height</code> rule, you can probably achieve what you're looking for. Try something like this:</p> <pre><code>#main { column-count: auto; column-width: 200px; height: 360px; overflow: auto; } </code></pre> <p>The MSDN article linked below discusses all of these options, but the IE "hands on" site will let you play around in real-time.</p> <p>References: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/hh673534%28v=vs.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">MSDN article: Multi-column layout</a></li> <li><a href="http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Graphics/hands-on-css3/hands-on_multi-column.htm" rel="nofollow">IE "hands-on" site</a></li> </ul> <hr> <p><strong>Original answer:</strong> </p> <p>You could have different CSS based on width. Example:</p> <pre><code>@media screen and (max-width:800px) { #main { /* overrides for width less than 800 */ } } @media screen and (min-width:800px) and (max-width:1200px) { #main { /* overrides for width between 800 and 1200 */ } } </code></pre> <p>References: </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://stephenwalther.com/archive/2012/02/29/metro-understanding-css-media-queries.aspx" rel="nofollow">Metro: Understanding CSS Media Queries</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/" rel="nofollow">W3C: Media Queries</a></li> </ul>

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.
