    <p>Here's the concept, with some code to get you started. Every time text is selected in the page, append that text to a hidden textarea on the page and then select the textarea. Then, wrap the original selection in a span to make it look selected. This way, you have the appearance of a selection, and since the hidden textarea is actually selected, when the user hits "ctrl+c" they are copying the text from the textarea.</p> <p>To get the full functionality you are looking for, you'll probably want to extend this. Sniff keys for "ctrl+a" (for select all). I don't think you'll be able to override right-click behavior... at least not easily or elegantly. But this much is at least a proof of concept for you to run with.</p> <pre><code>window.onload = init; function init() { document.getElementById("hidden").value = ""; document.body.ondblclick = interceptSelection; document.body.onmouseup = interceptSelection; } function interceptSelection(e) { e = e || window.event; var target = e.target || e.srcElement; var hidden = document.getElementById("hidden"); if (target == hidden) return; var range, text; if (window.getSelection) { var sel = getSelection(); if (sel.rangeCount == 0) return; range = getSelection().getRangeAt(0); } else if (document.selection &amp;&amp; document.selection.createRange) { range = document.selection.createRange(); } text = "text" in range ? range.text : range.toString(); if (text) { if (range.surroundContents) { var span = document.createElement("span"); span.className = "selection"; range.surroundContents(span); } else if (range.pasteHTML) { range.pasteHTML("&lt;span class=\"selection\"&gt;" + text + "&lt;/span&gt;") } hidden.value += text; } hidden.select(); } </code></pre> <p>Here's the css I used in my test to hide the textarea and style the selected text:</p> <pre><code>#hidden { position: fixed; top: -100%; } .selection { background-color: Highlight; color: HighlightText; } </code></pre>

    1. COThe problem is that I can't rely on the current document selection because I can't select two or more divs at a time (and I need to, check the "why" question linked).

    2. COFrom your question and the linked question, it sounds like you have two requirements. 1. Allow the user to "select" multiple pieces of text. Ie, the text will be highlighted as it usually is when text is selected. 2. Allow the user to copy that text by hitting ctrl+c. Have I got the requirements right? I've posted my above code at my website so you can see a live demo: http://jumpingfishes.com/multiselect.htm

    3. COThere is, however, a third requirement: There are several divs that can be edited (`<div contenteditable="true"></div>`), the user must be able to select more than one of them, as the linked question suggests.

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).
