<p>I'm creating pulldown menus that must be clicked on to open. This code lets the user opening menus just fine. The only problem is I haven't figured out how to close the menus yet by clicking outside the menus. I tried adding the "document.onclick" shown, but it takes effect even in the menus. </p> <p>I think I need to prevent document.onclick from being captured by other elements, but am not sure how to do this cross-platform. Can someone please show me how?</p> <pre><code><script type="text/javascript"> var lastOpenedMenuId = null; function showMenu(menuId) { if (lastOpenedMenuId != null && lastOpenedMenuId != menuId) { hideLastOpenedMenu(); } setMenuVisibility(menuId, 'visible'); lastOpenedMenuId = menuId; } function hideMenu(menuId) { setMenuVisibility(menuId, 'hidden'); } function hideLastOpenedMenu() { if (lastOpenedMenuId != null) { hideMenu(lastOpenedMenuId); } } function setMenuVisibility(menuId, visibleOrHidden) { var menuElement = document.getElementById(menuId); menuElement.style.visibility = visibleOrHidden; } document.onclick = hideLastOpenedMenu; </script> <div onmousedown="showMenu('foodmenu')"><a>FOOD</a></div> <div id="foodmenu" onmouseup="hideMenu('foodmenu');"> <a href="#meat">Meat</a> <A href="#tofu">Tofu</a> </div> </code></pre> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <hr> <p>I have made some progress and have reformulated the question here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3076642/how-to-stop-onclick-event-in-div-from-propagating-to-the-document">How to stop onclick event in div from propagating to the document?</a></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.
