CSS column baloney
I just want to remind anyone who has forgotten, that CSS can create column layouts that emulate Table behaviours… Further more CSS has been capable of doing it for about 7 or 8 years. It’s just that browsers have been slow to implement it so we have had to resort to the Float Hack to simulate columns.
I don’t really understand why Bruce says that “…It’s not that browsers are buggy. It’s the fact that we have to resort to such epicycles to get such a simple effect to work.”.
To my mind it is all about buggy browsers!
This three column layout has even heights, no graphics, semantic markup, degrades gracefully, is simply achieved with only two (uncomplicated) CSS rules and works identically in the most recent versions of FireFox, Safari and Opera… have I left anything out out?.. Oh right, the browser whose name we dare not mention. Say no more.
Buggy, incomplete browsers be damned not CSS. (Whispered)
