    <p>The point is that closures and objects accomplish the same goal: encapsulation of data and/or functionality in a single, logical unit.</p> <p>For example, you might make a Python class that represents a dog like this:</p> <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>class Dog(object): def __init__(self): self.breed = "Beagle" self.height = 12 self.weight = 15 self.age = 1 def feed(self, amount): self.weight += amount / 5.0 def grow(self): self.weight += 2 self.height += .25 def bark(self): print "Bark!" </code></pre> <p>And then I instantiate the class as an object</p> <pre class="lang-py prettyprint-override"><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; Shaggy = Dog() </code></pre> <p>The Shaggy object has data and functionality built in. When I call <code>Shaggy.feed(5)</code>, he gains a pound. That pound is stored in variable that's stored as an attribute of the object, which more or less means that it's in the objects internal scope.</p> <p>If I was coding some Javascript, I'd do something similar:</p> <pre class="lang-js prettyprint-override"><code>var Shaggy = function() { var breed = "Beagle"; var height = 12; var weight = 15; var age = 1; return { feed : function(){ weight += amount / 5.0; }, grow : function(){ weight += 2; height += .25; }, bark : function(){ window.alert("Bark!"); }, stats : function(){ window.alert(breed "," height "," weight "," age); } } }(); </code></pre> <p>Here, instead of creating a scope within an object, I've created a scope within a function and then called that function. The function returns a JavaScript object composed of some functions. Because those functions access data that was allocated in the local scope, the memory isn't reclaimed, allowing you to continue to use them through the interface provided by the closure.</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.
