Body
Given a URL, the URL of the webpage that first URL is on, the DOM of the webpage, and a list of the rest of the URLs on the webpage how can I reliably determine if the URL is in the header/footer of the page or if it's in neither? I'm using C#/.NET. I know that no solution is perfect since webpages are not semantically expressed and also because some websites/pages specifically obfuscate their pages, but I would like to build some logic that would work for say 75% of webpages. Also, are there other pieces of information that would be helpful to determine the location of the URL in the page?

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.
