    <p>My task is to set a text caret to appear inside an empty span node within a <code>contentEditable</code> div. </p> <p>The following gives me no problems on Firefox 3.6:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.4.3.min.js"&gt; &lt;/script&gt; &lt;style&gt; #multiple { border: 1px solid #ccc; width: 800px; min-height: 20px; padding: 5px; outline: none; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;script&gt; $(document).ready(function(){ var contentEditable = document.getElementById('multiple'); var lastItem = contentEditable.getElementsByTagName('span').item(2); var selectElementText = function(el, win){ win = win || window; var doc = win.document, sel, range; if (win.getSelection &amp;&amp; doc.createRange) { range = doc.createRange(); range.selectNodeContents(el); range.collapse(false); sel = win.getSelection(); sel.removeAllRanges(); sel.addRange(range); } else if (doc.body.createTextRange) { range = doc.body.createTextRange(); range.moveToElementText(el); range.select(); } } contentEditable.focus(); selectElementText(lastItem); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;title&gt;Range Selection Tasks (Make Me Want to Cry)&lt;/title&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="multiple" contentEditable="true"&gt; &lt;span style="color:red"&gt;First&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:green"&gt;Second&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:blue"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>... but on Webkit and IE, the focus is set to the <em>penultimate</em> span. No idea why. It works if I put a space inside the last span, but then I get a one-character range selection. </p> <p>Having said that, it's acceptable to have whitespace in the last node if the caret is at the very start.</p> <p>Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.</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.
