    <p>I don't think you can. It <em>should</em> be:</p> <pre><code>#SomeDropdown &gt;option[value='a\'b]&lt;p&gt;'] </code></pre> <p>And this does work as a CSS selector (in modern browsers). Expressed in a JavaScript string literal you would naturally need another round of escaping:</p> <pre><code>$("#SomeDropdown &gt;option[value='a\\'b]&lt;p&gt;']") </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't work in jQuery because its selector parser is not completely standards-compliant. It uses this regex to parse the <code>value</code> part of an <code>[attr=value]</code> condition:</p> <pre><code>(['"]*)(.*?)\3|)\s*\] </code></pre> <p>\3 being the group containing the opening quotes, which weirdly are allowed to be multiple opening quotes, or no opening quotes at all. The .*? then can parse any character, <em>including quotes</em> until it hits the first ‘]’ character, ending the match. There is no provision for backslash-escaping CSS special characters, so you can't match an arbitrary string value in jQuery.</p> <p>(Once again, regex parsers lose.)</p> <p>But the good news is you don't have to rely on jQuery selectors; there are perfectly good DOM methods you can use, in particular HTMLSelectElement.options:</p> <pre><code>var select= document.getElementById('SomeDropdown'); for (var i= select.options.length; i--&gt;0;) { if (select.options[i].value=="a'b]&lt;p&gt;") { // do something with option } } </code></pre> <p>This is many times simpler and faster than asking jQuery to laboriously parse and implement your selector, and you can use any value string you like without having to worry about escaping special characters.</p>

    1. COI will suggest this as a jQuery alternative to the pure DOM: $('option', '#SomeDropdown').filter(function() { return $(this).val() == "a'b]<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.

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).
