<p>I'm not sure I completely understand the question, but I'll take a stab at it:</p> <p>I don't believe that there is a time where a float will collapse a margin. I've looked at your code and I don't see any margin set in the css that then is 'collapsed' when I view it in a browser (I'm using Safari).</p> <p>Here's my thoughts:</p> <p>In the first part of your example, you have the normal flow div before the floated div. The floated div will just be rendered below the normal flow div.</p> <p>In the second part of your example you have the floatedRect divs above the normal flow divs. That's when you see the text move to the right. This is not affecting the margin of the text divs or collapsing the margins. It is just allowing the text to 'float' around the floatedRect divs. I've changed your code to illustrate:</p> <pre><code><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Inheritance Tests</title> <style> * { margin: 0px ; padding: 0px ; font-family: courier ; font-size: small ; } .test4 {width: 400px; height: 100px; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px;} .test5 {border: 1px solid red; width: 200px; height: 50px; float: left; margin:10px; } .floatedRect { width: 50px ; height: 50px ; float: left ; background-color: #9cf ; } .text { margin: 10px; border:1px solid red; position:relative; z-index:1; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="test5"> Floated </div> <div class="test4"> Normal Flow </div> <div style="margin-top: 100px"> Has a top margin </div> <div style="clear: both"> <div class="floatedRect"></div> <div class="text">some text</div> <div class="floatedRect"></div> <div class="text">some text</div> <div class="floatedRect"></div> <div class="text">some text</div> </div> </body> </code></pre> <p></p> <p>Notice that the text divs have a 10px margin still, but the text has been pushed to the right by the floatedRect divs.</p> <p>Hope that helps.</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.
