Body
I've got an older intranet application that needs to show two frames (a fixed menu bar and a variable content data view) inside a modal dialog window. At the moment the dialog is opened using the <code>window.showModalDialog</code> function and everything works fine, as long as I'm opening the page in Internet Explorer 8 (with any view mode) or in Internet Explorer 9 with Compatibility View enabled. Unfortunately, when switching off the Compatibility View in IE9, the dialog window always opens in a size of 266 x 138 pixels, regardless of the specified dialogWidth and dialogHeight values. I created a small example showing the problem: index.html (the page initially loaded): <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <body> <input type="button" value="popup" onclick="showModalDialog ('dialog.html', null, 'dialogWidth:500px;dialogHeight:400px;resizable:yes')" /> </body> </html> </code></pre> dialog.html (the page opened inside the dialog window): <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd"> <html> <frameset rows="*, 70"> <frame src="frame1.html" /> <frame src="frame2.html" /> </frameset> </html> </code></pre> frame1.html/frame2.html (the content of both frames): <pre><code><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html> <body> Frame Content </body> </html> </code></pre> The problem only occurs if I'm showing a frameset document inside the dialog. When opening a regular html document (containing a body with some content), the size is set as specified in the function call. Also, changing the dialog size after the document has loaded only works for regular documents, not for framesets, f.e. insert the following code after the opening html tag in dialog.html: <pre><code><head> <script type="text/javascript" /> window.setTimeout (function () { window.dialogWidth = "500px"; window.dialogHeight = "400px"; }, 10000); </script> </head> </code></pre> As I don't want to change the overall structure of the application (especially the frame-basedness) and I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if I've found a bug in Internet Explorer, any hints for resolving this problem are welcome.

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.
