Body
If I write a custom JQuery modal window or "light box," what are the mechanics of disabling all the anchor tags and other clickable elements outside of the div? Somehow do you capture all events and test to see if there is a hit inside the div rectangle and throw all others away? I'm not interested in how to create an overlay that's dim or transparent. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3674700/disable-all-page-elements-with-modal-feature-using-jquery">This question</a> was asked earlier but the answers focused on overlaying not disabling elements.

Guidance

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.
