    <p>There's a really good article by Joel Spolsky that discusses charsets. Take a look:</p> <p><a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/Unicode.html" rel="nofollow">The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and Character Sets (No Excuses!)</a></p> <p>As for HTTP headers, a quick Google search for "understanding HTTP headers" turned up quite a few good articles that describe them. Here's one: <a href="http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/other/http-headers-for-dummies/" rel="nofollow">HTTP Headers for Dummies</a>.</p> <p>In short, HTTP headers are basically small messages that get sent to the user's web browser that tell the browser about the output it's going to receive (ie, is it a web page, a file, an image; should it be cached; etc), or for things like cookies that should be saved by the client's browser.</p> <p>HTTP headers are also sent from the user's web browser back to the server. The most obvious example are again, cookies - every cookie that is saved by the browser is supposed to be sent back to the server on each HTTP request.</p> <p>In your case, you're probably talking about a specific HTTP header that defines the character set for the page. The <code>&lt;meta http-equiv=""&gt;</code> tags are used to simulate HTTP headers.</p> <p>For example, if you had a static HTML page and wanted to take advantage of a particular HTTP header, but couldn't configure it in the web server, you could use a <code>&lt;meta http-equiv=""&gt;</code> tag to achieve the same result.</p>

    1. CO@Ryan - Thanks Ryan. Had a quick look at article and it seems it'll take me a while to grasp the concepts. I was hoping if someone could explain it to me in the simplest of examples so that if I can understand that, I can understand the more complex concepts.

    2. COGotcha. I added more to my answer to explain the HTTP headers part of your question, but I think you're really wondering about charsets. The article may look daunting, but I think it's pretty easy to understand (it's just long).

    3. CO@Ryan - Thanks Ryan. That was helpful. Correct me if I am wrong. HTTP headers can be only sent from the web server to the client browser when a request is made by the client. Is that correct? When you say **simulate HTTP headers** what does this mean? What is a character set and how is this used? The reason I ask is I have seen it referenced in PHP as well.

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.
