    <p>I solved the problem by encoding the binary file as a hex string, stuffing it into a blob, and calling the function that takes the File object. I'm using Jasmine to test a file load function. FileLoader is the class that I wrote that has the function loadFromFile.</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> beforeEach(function() { return this.fileLoader = new FileLoader() }); it("can load this bin file safely", function() { var blob, fileContentsEncodedInHex; fileContentsEncodedInHex = ["\x45\x6e\x63\x6f\x64\x65\x49\x6e\x48\x65\x78\x42\x65\x63\x61\x75\x73\x65\x42\x69\x6e\x61\x72\x79\x46\x69\x6c\x65\x73\x43\x6f\x6e\x74\x61\x69\x6e\x55\x6e\x70\x72\x69\x6e\x74\x61\x62\x6c\x65\x43\x68\x61\x72\x61\x63\x74\x65\x72\x73"]; blob = new Blob(fileContentsEncodedInHex); this.fileLoader.loadFromFile(blob); }); </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>The function in the File loader class looks something like this (in coffeescript). You should definitely add error handling to your commercial code...</p> <blockquote> <pre><code> # # Load the file # # @param [File] file # The DOM file object # loadFromFile: (file) -&gt; # create the file reader # assign the file load handler # read the array as a buffer, which will trigger the handler reader = new FileReader() reader.onloadend = this._handleOnLoadEnd reader.readAsArrayBuffer(file) return </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>I wrote the following small python app to output file contents as a hex encoded string that can be used as the contents of a javascript string. (FYI, this is my first python script in about 12 years, I'm sure it's not efficient, but it was quick) Many thanks to a co-worker for the output string. I'm not sure why the code block is getting butchered in the display. My apologies.</p> <blockquote> <pre><code>import sys fulldoc = "" with open('your file', 'rb') as readFile: while 1: character = readFile.read(1) if not character: break fulldoc = fulldoc + "\\x" + character.encode("hex") print fulldoc </code></pre> </blockquote> <p>Additional tidbits... I don't know your exact situation but I would suggest the following... </p> <p>If you need to add a new binary at any time and re-run the tests, then you should make a test for each kind of binary file that you are adding at random. Test both positive and negative files (ie, files that should work with your app, files that should not work with your app). That is what the unit test frameworks are there for. In the future, if you find that a file that breaks your app due to a bug in your code, you can fix the bug, add a new unit test to load that binary and the tests should then pass. If you happen to break the file processing code on accident at some point, the unit tests are always there to show you something is wrong.</p>

    1. COI did something similar when I first starting, but I didn't like having to convert files each time I wanted to test. However, the setup is simpler than having web server, so I appreciate you adding an alternative.

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.
