    <p>I am trying to get the innerhtml of class name current_page_item[0]... And this is working fine in FF and even in IE9 also. But in IE 8 it seems to be some javascript error in line" <code>var classelem=document.getElementsByClassName('current_page_item')[0].innerHTML;</code>.</p> <p>I tried to put alert after the above line. But it is not displaying the message "Hello again".</p> <p>Any idea how to solve the browser issue for this? Is it something that <code>document.getElementsByClassName</code> wont work in IE8?</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function updatesidebar() { alert("Hello"); var classelem=document.getElementsByClassName('current_page_item')[0].innerHTML; alert("Hello again"); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="main"&gt; &lt;div class="menu_main"&gt; &lt;ul class='mainmenu' id='root'&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/home" class=""&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/solutions" class=""&gt;Solutions&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/services" class=""&gt;Services&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/about-us" class="current_page_item"&gt;About Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/news" class=""&gt;News and Events&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/careers" class=""&gt;Careers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/contact-us" class=""&gt;Contact Us&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; window.onload=updatesidebar(); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre>

    2. COYeah I8 doesn't support HTML5, so that method wont work in IE8. You could assign the id of "current" to the current page and use getElementById("current);

    3. CO@kjy — that should be an answer. @user662503 — Correct, you'll need to find a library that implements it for older browsers.

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).
