    <p><code>window.getSelection()</code> gives you a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/editing.html#selection-0" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Selection</a> object. Use <code>selection.rangeCount</code> and <code>selection.getRangeAt()</code> to get a <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Traversal-Range/ranges.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Range</a> object representing which selection you want.</p> <p>Now you can get the first and last nodes in the selection from <code>range.startContainer</code>/<code>startOffset</code> and <code>range.endContainer</code>/<code>endOffset</code>. You could then walk up and down the tree to pick up all the elements in between those two positions, eg. using the <code>getElementsBetweenTree()</code> function from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2514125/jquery-select-elements-between-two-elements-that-are-not-siblings/2515169#2515169">this answer</a>.</p> <p>Unfortunately, IE's <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535872%28v=VS.85%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">TextRange</a> model is totally different to the W3 and HTML5 standard, and in general much worse. It does't give up the start and end positions nearly as easily, and not in any reliable way. All you get is <code>parentElement</code> to tell you the common ancestor, and from there you're limited to guessing where the range is based on creating a new Range and calling <code>moveToElementText</code> on it then <code>compareEndPoints</code> with the selection range. And if you need to know the exact text selection you're then guessing based on <code>moveStart</code>/<code>moveEnd</code>​ing the range and comparing, which isn't fun at all.</p>

    1. COIERange (http://code.google.com/p/ierange/) does a good job of creating a DOM Range-like object from a TextRange. I use my own slightly modified versions of the algorithms from IERange in my projects.

    2. COLooks good. (The critical bit with finding boundaries is in `TextRangeUtils.convertToDOMRange`.) It won't be a complete replacement for Range as IE TextRanges don't respect range boundaries around the edges of elements in the way Range is supposed to, but it's probably good enough for the common case.

    3. COYes, agreed. I'm not sure it's possible to do much better in general and it has worked well for everything I've used it for. Can you think of any situation in which distinguishing between a boundary being at the edge of an element and it being at the edge of its child is critical? (e.g. `|<div><em>Text</em></div>` versus `<div>|<em>Text</em></div>` versus `<div><em>|Text</em></div>`)

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).
