    <p>I believe having too big dialogs is against your 'decent usability experience' requirement. Even if you didn't have to have a workaround due to the jQuery UI Dialog bug, I'd get rid of such big dialogs. Anyway, I do understand there may be some 'extreme' cases in which you need to adapt, so...</p> <p>That said, it would certainly help if you attached some screenshot - you're asking a question about a design, but we can't see it. But I understand you might not be able/willing to show the contents of it so that's fine. These are my <em>blind</em> guesses; hope you find them useful:</p> <ul> <li>Try a <strong>different layout</strong> for your dialog. If you do this, do it for all dialogs, not just the ones you're having problem with (users don't like to learn many different UIs).</li> <li>If you can't find a different layout, try <strong>widening your dialog</strong> first. IF you have many options to choose from, you might find a good solution by dividing them in two columns.</li> <li>Knowing you're already using jQuery UI, try using <strong>tabs</strong>. If you have too many options, a tabbed panel is usually a good solution - users are 'used' to that widget.</li> <li>You talked about 'items' in the dialog, but we don't know what an item is. Is it possible at all to show them in a 'summarized' way such as a small list at the left and an expanded view at the right when you click on them? For example, having a list with the items titles at the left, and when you click them you get the full display on the right.</li> </ul> <p>Without being able to see the design, I guess that's as far as I can go.</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.

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).
