    <p>I'm using jQueryUI Tabs inside a jQueryUI Dialog box. The content in each of the tab panels can be quite large -- for example there can be a table with hundreds of rows inside each individual tab panel. So scrollbars are required to navigate the content.</p> <p>By default, the dialog panel displays its own scrollbar -- which is not exactly what I want. This scrollbar causes the navigation tabs themselves to move up and out of view. What I'd prefer is for each tab panel to display its own scrollbar if necessary but to leave the navigation tabs visible. I've tried setting "overflow:hidden" for the dialog panel, and then "overflow:auto" for the individual tab panels (see below). But then the tab panels are not getting scrollbars even when the content requires it.</p> <p>Below is a (reduced) test case that shows the problem -- including my attempt to use overflow styles to solve the problem. Replace "Big content..." with something that causes scrollbars to be required and you'll see it.</p> <p>Hope that's clear enough. Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Many thanks...</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5/jquery.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8/jquery-ui.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { $("#dialog").dialog({height:300}); $("#tabs").tabs(); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;div id="dialog" style="overflow:hidden;"&gt; &lt;div id="tabs"&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#tab-1"&gt;tab-1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="#tab-2"&gt;tab-2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;div id="tab-1" style="overflow:auto;"&gt;Big content...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="tab-2" style="overflow:auto;"&gt;Big content...&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </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.
