    <p>I have pages that will be crawled by the google and bing crawlers. One of the pages uses twitter bootstrap 2.3.2 <a href="http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/components.html#navs" rel="nofollow">Tabbable nav</a>:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="tabbable"&gt; &lt;ul class="nav nav-tabs"&gt; &lt;li class="active"&gt;&lt;a href="#tab1" data-toggle="tab"&gt;Section 1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#tab2" data-toggle="tab"&gt;Section 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div class="tab-content"&gt; &lt;div class="tab-pane active" id="tab1"&gt; &lt;p&gt;I'm in Section 1&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="tab-pane" id="tab2"&gt; &lt;p&gt;Howdy, I'm in Section 2 and not currently visible. Will search engines ignore me?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>Since the content on the non active tabs is hidden I could see the search engines applying a significant penalty or discounting that content entirely when they crawl the site--not good news for the tabs since they will need to be removed.</p> <p><a href="https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/66353?hl=en" rel="nofollow">In this link</a> google warns about hiding text. and Matt Cutts says <a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-mistakes-unwise-comments/" rel="nofollow">"I don’t recommend that people use CSS to hide text"</a> so clearly you <em>can</em> get penalized for hiding text. However, engines may be smart enough to distinguish valid and invalid hiding. </p> <p>Is my concern on hidden tabs warranted or do the search engines distinguish?</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.
