Body
Take a look at the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range/ranges.html" rel="noreferrer">DOM Range spec</a>. You can get a <code>Range</code> from the user selection in Firefox using: <pre><code>var range = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); </code></pre> Note that some browsers, including Firefox, allow multiple selections, which can be accessed via the <code>getRangeAt()</code> method of the selection. The <code>Range</code> is expressed in terms of DOM nodes and offsets within those nodes. Once you've got your <code>Range</code>, it's not straightforward to do exactly what you want, since the range's boundaries could be in different nodes at different levels of the DOM tree, so simply surrounding the Range's content with a tag is not always possible. You may be able to do something like the following, although it will create a new block element to contain the selected content: <pre><code>var range = window.getSelection().getRangeAt(0); var selectionContents = range.extractContents(); var div = document.createElement("div"); div.style.color = "yellow"; div.appendChild(selectionContents); range.insertNode(div); </code></pre> Another, hacky, alternative is to use the <code>execCommand()</code> method of <code>document</code> to modify the selection (e.g. by setting it to a particular colour) and then using <code>document.querySelectorAll</code> or some selector library to select elements with that colour and then apply styling to them.

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.
