    <p>I've got a contenteditable div which's content is being edited via javascript after each textchange(<a href="http://zurb.com/playground/jquery-text-change-custom-event" rel="nofollow">textchange.js</a>) like adding html tags(only span-tags for changing the color of some words) and adding or removing some whitespaces here and there, but my problem is since the content is being changed while the user is editing it, the caret changes its position after every keypress, which makes it nearly impossible to write a single word. I'm at the moment searching for a way to prevent this jumping around, I've already thought of adding a special char which wouldn't be used anyway as a kind of marker at the position of the caret before editing it, removing it when finished and putting the caret back to this position, but since I'm using regex a lot(currently about 25 times after each textchange) this special character would ruin nearly every single one of them and I would have to add something like <code>\x40?</code> every where, which would not look nice and clear at all:</p> <pre><code>/\s&lt;span class="b0"&gt;hello\sworld&lt;/span&gt;/g </code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>/\s\x40?&lt;span class="b0"&gt;\x40?h\x40?e\x40?l\x40?l\x40?o\x40?\s\x40?w\x40?o\x40?r\x40?l\x40?d\x40?&lt;/span&gt;/g </code></pre> <p>I don't know if it helps but here is an example on how the content is changed(after each keypress):</p> <pre><code>foo +++ &lt;span class="c3"&gt;bar&lt;/span&gt; - baz -&lt;span class="c0"&gt;qux&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>&lt;span class="c1"&gt;foo&lt;/span&gt; + &lt;span class="c3"&gt;bar&lt;/span&gt; - &lt;span class="c1"&gt;baz&lt;/span&gt; * &lt;span class="c0"&gt;qux&lt;/span&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'd be grateful for every advice, tip or hint on how to solve this problem, or a better way to do this marker-thing.</p> <p>Thank you :)</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.
