    <p>This has been asked a zillion times: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2382083/fix-thead-on-page-scroll"><b>here</b></a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4334205/how-can-i-tell-iscroll-that-a-tbody-should-scroll-and-vanish-behind-a-thead"> <b>there</b>,</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3938679/jquery-maybe-horizontally-fix-element-but-vertically-scroll-it"> <b>the other place</b></a> just on SO. Yet there's no real good answer that I can find.</p> <p>&lt;recap> Often I have tables that are vertically much deeper than the viewport. I'd like to be able to scroll the table's <code>&lt;tbody&gt;</code> while its <code>&lt;thead&gt;</code> remains fixed and visible. Some of these tables are also much wider than the viewport. Here I want the table's <code>&lt;thead&gt;</code> to scroll horizontally.</p> <p>To get the effect, I have dozens of lines of JS, including <code>setInterval( )</code> calls to check <code>scrollLeft</code> and <code>scrollTop</code>, so that I can reposition a <em>copy</em> of <code>&lt;thead&gt;</code><sup>1</sup>. It works but it's a huge, ungainly, frail and unmaintainable pain in the ass.&lt;/recap></p> <p><strong>Question:</strong> Is there some straightforward css3 way, existent or emerging or proposed, that I can use to get a a table's <code>&lt;thead&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;tbody&gt;</code> to scroll horizontally and vertically, yet independently of each other? Thanks! </p> <hr> <p><sup>1</sup> Why <code>setInterval( )</code>? Because IE doesn't uniformly deliver <code>onScroll</code> events, you silly; <em>everybody</em> knows that! </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.
