    <p>[Meta-note:] I was browsing the question page, getting really tired of "DIVS vs Tables" "When to use tables vs DIVS" "Are Divs better than Tables" "Tables versus CSS" and all the questions that ask <em>THE SAME THING OMG PEOPLE</em> but I would like to see all the ways people tackle the translation of the canonical example of "why you should give up and use tables":</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; Name &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; Social Security Number &lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;input&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p><b> Question: </b> How to best (semantically, simply, robustly, fluidly, portably) implement the above without tables. For starters, I guess a naive implementation uses a fixed column width for the first column, but that can have iffy results for dynamically generated content. Including strengths/weaknesses of your approach in the answer would be nice.</p> <p>P.S. Another one I wonder about a lot is vertical centering but the hack for that is covered pretty well at <a href="http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">jakpsatweb.cz</a></p> <p>EDIT: scunlife brings up a good example of why I didn't think out the problem that carefully. Tables can align multiple columns simultaneously. The Question still stands (I'd like to see different CSS techniques used for alignment/layout) - although solutions that can handle his? more involved example definitely are preferred.</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.
