    <p>The title is probably more complex than the idea itself. Below is an image showing what I need. There are simple rules:</p> <ul> <li>A is a div with min-height: 800px; if B+C>A (in height), then A should expand to fit both B and C. (Standard behavior).</li> <li>B is a div that is variable height and needs to always be aligned to top of A, regardless of the height of C.</li> <li>C is a div that has variable height and needs always be aligned to the bottom of A, regardless of the height of B.</li> <li>The heights of B &amp; C are determined by their contents (text mostly).</li> </ul> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/SplWF.png" alt="align variable height div to bottom of parent"></p> <ul> <li>The leftmost image shows what it should look like when the the heights of B + C &lt; height of A. (Min-height 800px applies)</li> <li>The center image shows what should happen if B + C > A (B has grown in height, C has stayed the same, and thus, A has also grown in height).</li> <li>The rightmost image shows what should happen if B + C > A (both B and C have grown in height, and thus, A has also grown in height).</li> </ul> <p>Is this even possible with pure HTML/CSS and no Javascript? The execution environment does not have Javascript capability (or if it has, it's a very limited one), so I probably cannot rely on JS-based solutions.</p> <p>My own first attempt was to make A <code>position: relative;</code> and make C <code>position:absolute; bottom: 0;</code> but then when B grows, it will overlap with C, because C is no longer in the page flow.</p> <p>Then I thought about giving B a <code>min-height</code> that would push C to the bottom, but that doesn't work either because C does not have a fixed height, which means I cannot specify a fixed <code>min-height</code> for B.</p> <p>I also tried working with making A <code>display: table-cell; vertical-align: bottom;</code>, but that would then push both B &amp; C to the bottom. Perhaps if I could make B fill the rest of the available space, I could make this approach work?</p> <p>I created this jsfiddle <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/376rp/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsfiddle.net/376rp/</a> so that anyone who has any ideas has a jump-start. Please note: there are two "B"-blocks there (with a yellow background). The correct solution should probably work with any number of "B"-blocks.</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.
