<p>Please consider the following HTML code:</p> <pre><code><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"> <title>test</title> <style> .section { display: inline-block; border: 1px dashed blue; } .outer { border: 1px dashed red; margin: 10px; } </style> </head> <body> <div style="height: 500px; width: 200px;" class="section">a <div style="height: 100px;" class="outer">1A<br />1B</div> </div> <div style="height: 500px; width: 200px;" class="section">b <div style="height: 200px;" class="outer">2</div> <div style="height: 200px;" class="outer">3<br />4<br />5</div> </div> </body> </html> </code></pre> <p>Since both divs with class ".section" are the same height, and are inline-blocks, I would expect them to be both vertically aligned. However, the first of these divs is pushed down, so that the text "1B" is aligned with the text line "5" from the other section. Adding or removing lines in either div has a direct impact on the vertical position of my first section.</p> <p>I don't see the logic of this, and I can't find the answer in the official CSS3 documentation either. Yet, it does not seem to be a bug, as it's identical in Chrome 8, Safari 5, Opera 9.5 and Firefox 4 beta ... didn't try IE, since it's not a reference anyway. </p> <p>I'm looking for a rational explanation for this phenomenon. Of course there are several workarounds (e.g. changing inline-block to inline-table fixes the problem, or I could use normal floating blocks, etc ...). However I'm trying to comprehend this behaviour.</p> <p>Hopefully there is someone wiser than myself out there who can explain this.</p> <p>Live example <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/Kyle_Sevenoaks/RUerA/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>.</p>

Guidance

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.
