    <p>From the Apple <a href="http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/faq.html" rel="noreferrer">developer faq</a></p> <blockquote> <p>Safari ships with a conservative cookie policy which limits cookie writes to only the pages chosen ("navigated to") by the user.</p> </blockquote> <p>By default Safari only allows cookies from sites you navigate to directly. (i.e. if you click on links with the url of that domainname).</p> <p>This means that if you load a page from your own site with an iFrame with a page from another site, that the other site is not able to set cookies. (for instance, a ticketshop). As soon as you have visited the other domain directly, the other site is able to access and change its own cookies. </p> <p>Without having access to code on the other site, how can i make the user-experience as inobtrusive as possible?</p> <p>Is there a (javascript?) way to check if the other site's cookies are already set, and accordingly, show a direct link to the other site first, if needed?</p> <p>Update:</p> <p>The HTML5 feature 'window.postmessage' seems to be a nice solution.<br> There are some jQuery libraries that might help, and compatible with most recent browsers.<br> In essence, the iFrame document sends messages, with Json, thru the window element.</p> <p>The very nice <a href="http://postmessage.freebaseapps.com" rel="noreferrer">Postmessage-plugin</a>, by daepark, which i got working.<br> and another <a href="http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-postmessage-plugin/" rel="noreferrer">jQuery postMessage</a>, by Ben Alman i found, but haven't tested.</p>

    1. COI also see this problem, but I believe the issue is limited to unsecured cookies. Can someone confirm?

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).
