    <p><strong>The situation has changed since writing this answer: now that Firefox has added support in version 22, all major browsers now support accessing the clipboard data in a paste event. See <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6804718/96100">Nico Burns's answer</a> for an example.</strong></p> <p>In the past this was not generally possible in a cross-browser way. The ideal would be to be able to get the pasted content via the <code>paste</code> event, <a href="http://codebits.glennjones.net/editing/getclipboarddata.htm" rel="noreferrer">which is possible in recent browsers</a> but not in some older browsers (in particular, Firefox &lt; 22).</p> <p>When you need to support older browsers, what you can do is quite involved and a bit of a hack that will work in Firefox 2+, IE 5.5+ and WebKit browsers such as Safari or Chrome. Recent versions of both TinyMCE and CKEditor use this technique:</p> <ol> <li>Detect a ctrl-v / shift-ins event using a keypress event handler</li> <li>In that handler, save the current user selection, add a textarea element off-screen (say at left -1000px) to the document, turn <code>designMode</code> off and call <code>focus()</code> on the textarea, thus moving the caret and effectively redirecting the paste</li> <li>Set a very brief timer (say 1 millisecond) in the event handler to call another function that stores the textarea value, removes the textarea from the document, turns <code>designMode</code> back on, restores the user selection and pastes the text in.</li> </ol> <p>Note that this will only work for keyboard paste events and not pastes from the context or edit menus. By the time the paste event fires, it's too late to redirect the caret into the textarea (in some browsers, at least).</p> <p>In the unlikely event that you need to support Firefox 2, note that you'll need to place the textarea in the parent document rather than the WYSIWYG editor iframe's document in that browser.</p>

    1. COWow, thanks for that! Seems to be a very sophisticated hack though ;-) Could you please describe that designMode and selection thing a little more, especially in step 3? Thanks a lot!

    2. COI had a horrible feeling you'd ask that. As I say, it's quite involved: I'd suggest looking at the source of TinyMCE or CKEditor, since I haven't got the time to outline all the issues involved. Briefly though, `designMode` is a Boolean property of `document` and makes the whole page editable when `true`. WYSIWYG editors usually use an iframe with `designMode` on as the editable pane. Saving and restoring the user selection is done one way in IE and another in other browsers, as is pasting the content into the editor. You need to obtain a `TextRange` in IE and a `Range` in other browsers.

    3. COThanks. I have already worked with TextRanges earlier, so this is not completely new to me. But as you mentioned, the best would be to study CKEditor (remember it as FCKeditor) and/or tinyMCE now.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
