    <p>I would like to implement <strong>FB-chat</strong> inside a <strong>webpage</strong>. I looked around in Facebook API, i found out that chat is allowed only using XMPP. First I tried to connect to FB-chat using Pidgin and it worked fine. My conclusion was that FB-chat server is acting as the XMPP server. <strong>Is this true?</strong></p> <p>I read about XMPP, it seems that an open TCP connection should be established between the client and the server to exchange the XML stanzas which is not possible from a website (over JavaScript and without plugins) since only http requests/responses can be exchanges, no TCP connection there. This means that there should be some kind of a proxy in between, and as for authentication, FB API suggests to use the X-FACEBOOK-PLATFORM SASL (not the DIGEST MD5, since there is a proxy). <strong>I didn't find a clear tutorial or steps how to do so, help here is appreciated.</strong></p> <p>A bit more research about XMPP client from the web or browser, I saw that I am supposed to use a library called <strong>Strophe</strong> (based on <strong>BOSH</strong> protocol) and in other answers some kind of connection manager called <strong>Punjab</strong>. I read about this BOSH protocol, it seems to be the solution but in some places I found out that it is not allowed in FB (I am not sure how correct is this info though). I tried to setup these but i was totally confused how to begin and what I am really supposed to do.</p> <p>For the strophe, I didn't find a real tutorial how to implement it, and in what i found, they suggest to first setup a jabber server like ejabberd (I didnt get the need for that).</p> <p><strong>My question is:</strong></p> <p>Can somebody suggest an architecture that I should implement to achieve my goal?</p> <p>So will there be: <strong>webpage ->(HTTP) -> Strophe -> (TCP) -> FB-chat</strong> OR will it have an XMPP server in between and why?</p> <p>I would appreciate any answer to any of my questions. Please suggest some links to how to implement all these stuff. I am totally new to all this which made me lost for more than a week now.</p> <p>If somebody already did this, please help. Thanks a lot.</p> <p>Sabah</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.
