    <p>I have a table whose body I've made sortable using jQuery UI's Sortable function. Within this sortable table, I have a textarea which allows the user to enter comments about a given table entry.</p> <pre><code>&lt;table id="status"&gt; &lt;thead&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;th&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th&gt;Comment&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/thead&gt; &lt;tbody&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td class="dragHandle"&gt;Jason&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;&lt;textarea class="commentBox"&gt;&lt;/textarea&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/tbody&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>And the javascript to make the table sortable (with a helper function for making tables sortable I found online)</p> <pre><code>// Return a helper with preserved width of cells var fixHelper = function(e, ui) { ui.children().each(function() { $(this).width($(this).width()); }); return ui; }; $("#status").sortable({ helper: fixHelper, axis: 'y', handle: '.dragHandle' }).disableSelection(); </code></pre> <p>Text entry into this textarea works fine, however when I try to select text within the textarea, nothing happens. Even using Shift+Arrow Keys does not behave as I would expect.</p> <p>How do I make a textarea's text selectable while still making the entire table sortable?</p> <p>Already Attempted:</p> <ul> <li><p>Doing a sortable "destroy" on the table when a textarea gets focus to try and temporarily allow selectability, but even after the destroy, text selection is still wonky.</p></li> <li><p>Setting the 'handle' property of the sortable to make only the Name field sortable</p></li> <li><p>Setting the 'disable' property of the sortable to disable when initiated from textareas</p></li> <li><p>Capturing the mousedown/mouseup events in the textarea (or a div containing the textarea) and calling event.stopPropagation()</p></li> </ul>

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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
