    <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets#Limitations" rel="noreferrer">According to Wikipedia</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Selectors are unable to ascend</strong> </p> <blockquote> <p>CSS offers no way to select a parent or ancestor of element that satisfies certain criteria. A more advanced selector scheme (such as XPath) would enable more sophisticated stylesheets. However, the major reasons for the CSS Working Group rejecting proposals for parent selectors are related to browser performance and incremental rendering issues.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p>And for anyone searching SO in future, this might also be referred to as an ancestor selector.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong> </p> <p>The <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-selectors4-20110929/#subject" rel="noreferrer">Selectors Level 4 Spec</a> allows you to select which part of the select is the subject:</p> <blockquote> <p>The subject of the selector can be explicitly identified by prepending a dollar sign ($) to one of the compound selectors in a selector. Although the element structure that the selector represents is the same with or without the dollar sign, indicating the subject in this way can change which compound selector represents the subject in that structure.</p> <p><strong>Example 1:</strong></p> <p>For example, the following selector represents a list item LI unique child of an ordered list OL:</p> <pre><code>OL &gt; LI:only-child </code></pre> <p>However the following one represents an ordered list OL having a unique child, that child being a LI:</p> <pre><code>$OL &gt; LI:only-child </code></pre> <p>The structures represented by these two selectors are the same, but the subjects of the selectors are not.</p> </blockquote> <p>Although this isn't available (currently, November 2011) in any browser or as a selector in jQuery.</p>

    2. COJust FYI, MooTools has supported CSS level 4 selectors for a couple of years now - and ironically, the Slick selector engine in MooTools actually was able to process these selectors before the spec draft was even published --> https://github.com/mootools/slick/wiki/How-do-I-specify-a-different-subject-for-the-selector%3F

    3. CO@csuwldcat: The subject selector has been discussed for several years now, possibly almost a decade from the CSS2.0 halcyon days. But now that sel4 has been updated to use `!` for choosing the subject (a few months following your comment), that implementation is tentatively obsolete/non-conforming/off/etc. I wonder when/if they'll update their implementation accordingly, or wait for it to stabilize.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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