    <p>I'm creating a contact card style layout, with a photo and text next to it, as demonstrated in this fiddle here:</p> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/L7pWv/5/" rel="nofollow">http://jsfiddle.net/L7pWv/5/</a></p> <p>HTML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="container"&gt; &lt;div class="contact-card"&gt; &lt;div class="photo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="details"&gt; &lt;span class="name"&gt;My Name&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="description"&gt;This is some really long text that should wrap nicely when things all work OK&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="contact-card"&gt; &lt;div class="photo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="details"&gt; &lt;span class="name"&gt;My Name 2&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="description"&gt;Short description&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="clearfix"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>CSS:</p> <pre><code>.container { width: 350px; } .contact-card { background-color: whitesmoke; border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; white-space: nowrap; } .contact-card .photo { float: left; width: 80px; height: 50px; background-color: tan; margin: 10px; } .contact-card .details { display: inline-block; margin: 10px 0; } .contact-card .name { display: block; font-weight: bold; line-height: 1em; } .contact-card .description { display: block; font-size: 0.8em; color: silver; line-height: 1em; white-space: normal; } .clearfix { clear: both; } </code></pre> <p>As you can see from running the fiddle, when the text is really long, it does wrap eventually, based upon my white-space setting, but it exceeds the size of the contact card before doing so. I could put a right margin of 90px on the "description" class to keep the text within the bounds (which works), but I can't help but feel this is wrong. I'd like it to naturally want to stay within its parent's bounds, but can't think of the best way to achieve that. Any ideas?</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.
