<p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/WrMh2.png" alt="Glyphs in Box"></p> <p>This test image shows how wildly different Safari positions text inside a box vs Firefox (Safari 5.0.5 and Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.6.7). Notice how the "S" for <code>sans-serif</code> is butted up to the top of the box in Firefox and not Safari. The difference seem to vary depending on typeface used, where some are even consistently rendered.</p> <p>I've read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5880459/vertical-alignment-text-in-container-webkit-vs-firefox/5883303#5883303">people saying</a> that this is because of rounding issues between <code>font-size</code> and <code>line-height</code> (and fixed by setting smaller height than size), but I think that's disproved by my example where sans-serif/helvetica in Firefox always aligns top in the box.</p> <p>To me it looks like Safari gets it more right than Firefox, i.e. text is generally more around a middle line.</p> <p>Is there a good way to get them more consistent? My target is only standards-compliant browsers.</p> <ul> <li>NB1: This has nothing to do with <code>vertical-align</code>.</li> <li>NB2: I investigated a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4325440/does-webkit-have-a-clipping-bug/4325791">similar problem in the past</a> with no completely satisfactory outcome.</li> </ul> <p>My test code: <a href="http://jsbin.com/omaboc" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsbin.com/omaboc</a></p> <pre><code><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <html> <head> <style type="text/css"> body { font-size: 50px; line-height: 1em; } div { background: #b5e260; margin-bottom: 5px; } </style> </head> <body> <div style="font-family: sans-serif">Some text @ this box</div> <div style="font-family: serif">Some text @ this box</div> <div style="font-family: arial">Some text @ this box</div> <div style="font-family: helvetica">Some text @ this box</div> <div style="font-family: courier">Some text @ this box</div> <div style="font-family: georgia">Some text @ this box</div> </body> </html> </code></pre>

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.
