    data
    text
    <p>I have a <code>div</code> of text (<code>#text-write</code>), each character of which is <code>span</code>ned. The <code>div</code> is <code>absolute</code>ly <code>position</code>ed inside a <code>relative</code>ly <code>position</code>ed container <code>div</code> (<code>#typetext</code>). Here's the effect intended:</p> <ol> <li>Animate inner <code>div</code> (<code>#text-write</code>) to <code>opacity 0</code> for 400ms.</li> <li>Animate each <code>span</code> inside inner <code>div</code> one after the other to <code>opacity 1</code> for 400ms each.</li> <li>Pause for 5 seconds.</li> <li>Go back to 1.</li> </ol> <p>I simply can't make this work in IE8. It works in IE7 and below, IE9, other major and obscure (that i know of) browsers. I've been pulling my hair trying out everything I found on the net (add layout to the <code>absolute</code>ly <code>position</code>ed inner <code>div</code>, play with <code>filter</code>, try fade, etc.) for the last 5 or so hours.</p> <p>The logic is running (I tried inserting an <code>alert</code> in the recursive call, and IE8 does the <code>alert</code> for each <code>span</code>ned letter and in the exact timing, even the pause), no errors in console, either.</p> <p>But nothing is happening to the <code>opacity</code>. It does not even disappear. It just stays there.</p> <p>Can you help?</p> <pre><code> jQuery(function() { // span each letter in text var textType = jQuery('#text-write').remove().text(), textTypeLength = textType.length, fadeSpeed = 400, fadePause = 5000, textSpanned = ''; for (i=0;i&lt;textTypeLength;i++) textSpanned += '&lt;span&gt;' + textType.charAt(i).replace(' ','&amp;nbsp;') + '&lt;\/span&gt;'; jQuery('#typetext').append('&lt;div id="text-write"&gt;'+ textSpanned + '&lt;\/div&gt;'); // fade phrase logic function fadeType(){ var letters = jQuery('#text-write span').animate({opacity: 0}, fadeSpeed), i=0; (function(){ jQuery(letters[i++]).animate({opacity: 1}, fadeSpeed, arguments.callee); })(); } // make it happen fadeType(); setInterval(function(){fadeType();},fadePause + fadeSpeed + (textTypeLength*fadeSpeed)); }); </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.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
