Body
<p>Here is one approach that uses CSS only.</p> <p>The HTML looks like:</p> <pre><code><div id="pageWrapper"> <header>Header</header> <div id="contentWrapper"> <div class="table-wrap"> <div class="cell col1"> <div class="content">Column 1: Shrink-to-Fit Width</div> </div> <div class="cell col2"> <div class="content">Column 2: Variable Width</div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footerWrapper">Footer</div> </div> </code></pre> <p>and the CSS:</p> <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; } body { background-color: #E3E3E3; } #pageWrapper { margin: 0 auto; position: relative; width: 90%; /*set to 100% or smaller or fixed width... */ height: 100%; } header { display:block; width: 100%; height: 100px; background: yellow; } #contentWrapper { width: 100%; position: absolute; top: 100px; bottom: 100px; left: 0; background: beige; } #footerWrapper { width: 100%; position: absolute; height: 100px; bottom: 0px; left: 0; background: gray; } .table-wrap { width: 100%; height: 100%; } .table-wrap .cell { height: 100%; } .table-wrap .col1 { float: left; border: 1px dotted blue; max-width: 80%; /* This is critical or else Column 2 can disappear */ } .table-wrap .col1 .content { height: inherit; display: inline-block; overflow-y: auto; } .table-wrap .col2 { } .table-wrap .col2 .content { height: inherit; overflow-y: auto; } </code></pre> <p>See demo at: <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/kbAwf/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/audetwebdesign/kbAwf/</a></p> <h2>How This Works</h2> <p>Use absolute positioning to place the header, main content area and footer within the view port area.</p> <p>Within the content area (<code>#contentWrapper</code>), the <code>.table-wrap</code> container has two cells, one which is floated left (column 1). This allows column 2 to fill the rest of the width.</p> <p>To get the shrink-to-fit width for column 1, set <code>display: inline-block</code> to the inner <code>.content</code> container.</p> <p>Finally, use <code>overflow-y: auto</code> for the scroll bars. (You can also use the scroll value.)</p> <p>You need to set a maximum width to <code>.col1</code> so that <code>.col2</code> does not get pushed out of the view port. I set it to 80% but you can adjust it.</p> <p>Also, note that an inline-block will expand as much as possible to flow its content, which is why you need to constrain it.</p> <p>You man want to set a minimum width on <code>#pageWrapper</code> to prevent the layout from shrinking to something that is less than useful.</p>

Guidance

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.
