    <p>If you use a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font" rel="nofollow">monospaced font</a> then you can use <code>position:relative;</code> and move your row of text, since every letter and space <code></code> has the same size (<a href="http://jsfiddle.net/SA7T4/1/" rel="nofollow">demo</a>). You can achieve a similar result on fonts without fixed-width, but the offset (<code>left:;</code>) is a little bit harder to calculate, as almost every letter occupies another amount of horizontal space. </p> <pre><code>&lt;nav class="letter monospace"&gt; &lt;div&gt;A B C D E F G H I J&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- monospaced font demo --&gt; &lt;/nav&gt; &lt;nav class="letter"&gt; &lt;div&gt;A B C D E F G H I J&lt;/div&gt; &lt;!-- standard browser font demo --&gt; &lt;/nav&gt; &lt;div id="leftmiddle"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div id="rightmiddle"&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <pre><code>nav.letter{ font-size:2em; text-align:center; } nav.letter &gt; div{ /* standard browser font */ position:relative; left:1.05em; /* you have to calculate the horizontal shift yourself based on the font you're using */ } nav.letter.monospace{ font-family:monospace; } nav.letter.monospace &gt; div{ /* monospaced font */ position:relative; left:1.75em; /* to center the row around 'E' change to 0.75em, for C to 2.75em... */ } nav ~ div{ width:49%; min-height:200px; height: 80%; } #leftmiddle{ float:left; border-right:1px solid;} #rightmiddle{ float:right; border-left:1px solid;} </code></pre> <p><a href="http://jsfiddle.net/SA7T4/3/" rel="nofollow">HTML4 demo, working in IE7-9, FF10, Opera, Chrome</a>.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: See this alternative <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/SA7T4/6/embedded/result/" rel="nofollow">demo</a> (working in IE7-9, FF10, Opera, Chrome): </p> <pre><code>&lt;div class="letter"&gt; &lt;div class="wrapper"&gt; &lt;div class="before"&gt; A B C &lt;/div&gt; D &lt;div class="after"&gt; E F G H I J &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <pre><code>.letter{ text-align:center; overflow:hidden; } .letter &gt; .wrapper{ width:1em; margin:auto; position:relative; } .letter &gt; .wrapper &gt; .before{ position:absolute; right:125%; text-align:right; width:10em; } .letter &gt; .wrapper &gt; .after{ position:absolute; text-align:left; top:0; left:125%; width:20em; } </code></pre>

    1. COsorry, I didn't make it clear that the row of text is dynamically generated such that I could have more text on the left or right of the letter D.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

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