    <p><code>WebView</code> supports, through the <code>WebEditingDelegate</code>, a mechanism for the delegate to implement custom behavior for a variety of actions the <code>WebView</code> (or the private <code>WebHTMLView</code>) receives. When an action such as:</p> <pre><code>-(void)changeAttributes:(id)sender </code></pre> <p>is received in <code>WebHTMLView</code>, it is passed through to the delegate method:</p> <pre><code>-(BOOL)webView:(WebView *)webView doCommandBySelector:(SEL)command </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, the mechanism does not provide for conveyance of the "<code>sender</code>" in the original action method.</p> <p>For the vast majority of actions, the sender is unimportant, but for changeAttributes, and changeFont, for example, the contract requires that "<code>sender</code>" be called by the recipient in order to e.g. <code>convertAttributes:</code> or <code>convertFont:</code>.</p> <p>For the <code>changeFont</code> case, it turns out that calling <code>[[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] convertFont:]</code> is sufficient, as coincidentally this is what the sender is.</p> <p>In the <code>changeAttributes</code> case, in particular when strikethrough is changed, the sender may be a private class "<code>NSFontEffectsBox</code>" which presumably corresponds to the subsection of the font panel that is responsible for changing strikethrough/etc settings.</p> <p>Unfortunately, calling <code>[[NSFontManager sharedFontManager] convertAttributes:]</code> does NOT obtain the expected attribute changes. This leaves a delegate who is interested in implementing this method meaningfully in a bit of a conundrum:</p> <ol> <li><p>WebKit does not convey the sender, so the delegate can't make the contractual <code>[sender convertAttributes:]</code> call.</p></li> <li><p>The <code>changeAttributes:</code> call is sent to a private WebKit class, <code>WebHTMLView</code>, which cannot be subclassed to, e.g., customize the behavior of <code>changeAttributes:</code>.</p></li> <li><p>The sender for the <code>changeAttributes:</code> call, <code>NSFontEffectsBox</code>, is a private class and cannot be accessed e.g. as <code>[NSFontEffectsBox sharedFontEffectsBox]</code>.</p></li> </ol> <p>In short: there appears to be no way for a developer to meaningfully override the behavior of <code>changeAttributes:</code> for a <code>WebView</code>.</p> <p>Any ideas?</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.
