    <p>I know similar questions have been closed for it being "impossible to answer objectively", but stick with me here.</p> <p>I built a prototype in Adobe Flex, they (customers) liked it. Everything was fine until they later told me that iPads / iOS needs to be supported too.</p> <p>I checked out Adobe's Packager for iPhone. We're evaluating that and we will know if it works out in a couple of days. (We need to get through Apple's red tape and certificates <em>raj</em> so this angle is delayed by a few days!)</p> <p>There is a growing voice for using HTML5/Canvas as a technology platform itself. And despite being quite proficient in Flex, I think this makes sense.</p> <p>I'm in need of a HTML5 library that can:</p> <ul> <li>Render "widgets" i.e. containers with forms and components (this should be easy and possible using POHJC - Plain old HTML, JavaScript and CSS ;-) )</li> <li>Provide a Tree like control for laying out some data</li> <li>Provide a Canvas where data structures can be represented as basic shapes</li> <li>Provide drag and drop capabilities between Trees, Buttons and Canvas</li> <li>Provide some sort of Tab Navigator container (I guess JQuery works here)</li> <li>Interact with back-end services (JSON/XML calls will be okay, but mapping directly with back-end entities will be awesome!)</li> <li>Renders on latest versions of major browsers, Android OS and iOS (WebKit for mobile?)</li> </ul> <p>Am I asking for too much?</p> <ul> <li>I'm ready to give JQuery &amp; JQuery UI a try. </li> <li>I looked at Sencha / ExtJS but it seems we need to maintain two code bases one for normal browsers and the other for mobiles (is that correct?)</li> <li>Are there any other JS libraries worth trying out?</li> </ul> <p>My concerns areas are</p> <ul> <li>Single code base, I don't want to suggest to them that multiple code bases for the client need to be maintained. That's a last resort option and would lead to complete ruling out of HTML5 with Flash apps and native apps being developed.</li> <li>Canvas capabilities - I don't want to work with raw canvas and shape tags. This too is a last resort option. Is there any abstraction available?</li> <li>Integration with back-end services, obviously I need some capability here!</li> </ul> <p>Help me out. Communitywikify this if required.</p> <p>Thanks, Sri</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.
