    <p>I'm writing an extension for Opera and it will use the Twitter OAuth API. I know it is frowned upon, but I'm implementing the Twitter OAuth with Javascript inside the extension. Please bear with me, because I'm not any pro with OAuth. </p> <p>But here's what I want to do. Once the user is authenticated with Twitter, I will store the access token in localStorage with the <strong>widget.preferences</strong> object available to Opera extensions. Here's the part I'm unsure about right now. In the extension, one will be able to post a comment. The comment will be posted from the extension to a script on a server which will process and insert the comment into a table in a database. </p> <p>The thing that I want to know about now is, how can I be sure the username of the person posting the comment is the real username of the user that posted the comment and logged in with Twitter in my extension? </p> <p>If I just sent the username from the extension, it would be extremely easy to just manipulate the username in the request, resulting in a fake username being inserted into the database with the comment. </p> <p>I could send the access token of the user posting the comment from the extension, the server would receive it with the comment data. Before inserting the comment into the database, could I use the access token sent from the Javascript extension to retrieve with PHP the Twitter username of the user represented by that access token? Or is the access token randomly created each time a user is authenticated so it can't be reused like this?</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.
