    <p>To demonstrate this issue, below HTML file displays a very tall DIV (named div1), which is initial hidden, and a button to show or hide div1. Open it in Google Chrome, then click on the button to show the div. You will notice that the div is now displayed, but there is no way to see its lower part because it is too tall to fit in the window and Chrome does not display a scroll bar. </p> <p>If you open it in Firefox, there is no such issue. Firefox displays a scroll bar when the div1 is shown so that you can scroll to see its lower part.</p> <pre><code>&lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;script src="http://api.prototypejs.org/javascripts/pdoc/prototype.js" type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt; &lt;input type="button" onclick="$('div1').toggle();" value='Toggle'&gt;&lt;/input&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt; &lt;div style="position:relative"&gt; &lt;div style="position:absolute"&gt; &lt;div id='div1' style="position:absolute; height:1500px; width: 200px; border: 1px solid gray; display:none"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; </code></pre> <p>I found this had something to do with the table element and the first div. If I either remove the table/tr/td tags or change the style of the first div from "position: relative" to "position:absolute", Google Chrome will display the scroll bar properly. Unfortunately, in my project, I could not do this as it would affect a lot of elements in the page.</p> <p>It looks like a bug in Chrome? Are there any other workarounds/fixes?</p>

    1. COI'm not sure why it happens, but it doesn't happen if you remove it from the table. If there's some way to eliminate the table then it should be fine.

    2. COThanks James. Unfortunately, the table is part of the application layout, removing it would affect too many pages.

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.
