    <blockquote> <p>What's the benefits of structuring my site with divs and apply the display:table property ( display:tr, display:tr). </p> </blockquote> <p>None whatsoever in my opinion, except that you <a href="http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html" rel="noreferrer">take away compatibility with older browsers</a>. The idea that using DIVs with <code>display: table-*</code> is somehow better than <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>s is idiotic IMO, and the result of totally misguided hysteria against table elements. (Not attacking you @Nimo, just criticizing some people who have taken the "tables are evil" meme too far.)</p> <p>Tables are supposed to be used to represent tabular data, not to be misused for layouting. </p> <p>There are, however, certain abilities that tables have that are still very hard to simulate using pure CSS. You either need massive hacks and sometimes even JavaScript based workarounds to make those things work.</p> <p>You should design your layouts in a way that don't rely on those abilities. </p> <p>In some rare cases, you <em>do</em> need them. But then, it doesn't matter whether you use a proper <code>&lt;table&gt;&lt;tr&gt;</code> or a brain-dead <code>&lt;div style="display: table"&gt;&lt;div style="display: table-row"&gt;</code> (which one is more semantic and better readable by the way?)</p> <p>If you <em>need</em> <code>display: table-*</code> for your layout, you have one of those rare cases at hand, or you have painted yourself in a corner anyway. Either way, with a <code>&lt;table&gt;</code>, you at least get consistent browser support.</p>

    1. COI had my suspicions that this was the case. Thank you for the info.

    2. COI think it's *always* more semantic and readable to use `<div>` elements, external stylesheets, and descriptive class names then `<table>` elements for non-tabular data.

    3. CO@ghoppe point taken in that a `table` tag is always semantically wrong in a layout, no matter what. I would still prefer markup with a `<table>` based construct but that is down to taste. Anyway, `div` s with `display: table-*` bring with them *all* problems inherent to tabular layouts, plus the additional problem of lacking downward compatibility, and the additional problem of some people who don't understand the issue thinking that they are now doing fine because hey, we're not using `<table>` s, right? This is what my rant is ultimately about.

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).
