    <p>In CSS the <code>overflow:hidden</code> is set on parent containers in order to allow it to expand with the height of their floating children. </p> <p>But it also has another interesting feature when combined with <code>margin: auto</code>...</p> <p>If PREVIOUS sibling is a floating element, it will actually appear juxtapose to it. That is if the sibling is <code>float:left</code> then the container with <code>float:none overflow:hidden</code> will appear to the right of the sibling, no newline - just as if it was floating in the normal flow. If the previous sibling is <code>float:right</code> then the container will appear to the left of the sibling. Resizing this container will accurately show it centered inbetween the floating elements. Say if you have two previous siblings, one <code>float:left</code> the other <code>float:right</code>, the container will appear centered inbetween the two.</p> <p>So here's the <strong>problem</strong>...</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>How do I maintain that type of layout WITHOUT masking children?</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>Googling all over the web gives me ways on how to <code>clear:both</code> and expand a container... but I can't find any alternative solution to maintaining the left/right previous-child centering. If you make the container <code>overflow:visible</code> then the container suddenly ignores the layout flow of the floating elements and appears layered ontop of the floating element.</p> <p>So <strong>question</strong>:</p> <p>I have to have the container <code>overflow:hidden</code> to preserve layout... </p> <p>how can I make it so the children aren't masked? I need to have the child absolutely positioned relative to the parent outside the container.</p> <p>OR</p> <p>How do I <code>overflow:visible</code> so I can absolutely position a child relative to the parent outside the container... YET preserve the sibling float-like-layout-flow?</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.
