    <p>Short version: What is the cleanest and most maintainable technique for consistant presentation and AJAX function across all browsers used by both web developers and web developers' end-users?</p> <ul> <li>IE 6, 7, 8</li> <li>Firefox 2, 3</li> <li>Safari</li> <li>Google Chrome</li> <li>Opera</li> </ul> <p>Long version: I wrote a <a href="http://con.appspot.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">web app aimed at other web developers</a>. I want my app to support the major web browsers (plus Google Chrome) in both presentation and AJAX behavior.</p> <p>I began on Firefox/Firebug, then added conditional comments for a consistent styling under IE 6 and 7. Next, to my amazement, I discovered that jQuery does not behave identically in IE; so I <a href="http://github.com/jhs/app-engine-console/commit/4fe7741ad1856208b565eeab4260a64933929c01" rel="nofollow noreferrer">changed my Javascript to be portable on FF and IE</a> using conditionals and less pure jQuery.</p> <p>Today, I started testing on Webkit and Google Chrome and discovered that, not only are the styles inconsistant with both FF and IE, but Javascript is not executing at all, probably due to a syntax or parse error. I expected some CSS work, but now I have more Javascript debugging to do! At this point, I want to step back and think before writing piles of special cases for all situations.</p> <p>I am <b>not looking for a silver bullet, just best practices</b> to keep things as understandable and maintainable as possible. I prefer if this works with no server-side intelligence; however if there is a advantage to, for example, check the user-agent and then return different files to different browsers, that is fine if the total comprehensibility and maintainability of the web app is lower. Thank you all very much!</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.
