CSS column baloney II
“I read the news today, oh boy… mmmmnnn”
Bruce has emailed to let me know that perhaps he didn’t explain himself well and that he has posted a clarification to his position.
“But I still maintain that display:table and display:table-cell are kludges, just like html tables. What I want are equal-height divs (or any other element). I don’t want tables (which are for tabular data, and were always a hack to achieve the balanced-height divs).”
Bruce I still don’t get it, sorry. Can you please point-out in the example I gave exactly where the Table is.. I’ve just done a document.getElementsByTagName('TABLE') and document.getElementsByTagName('TD') and the location is still a mystery to me.. All I can find are DIVs (some of which display with equal heights like you want, if you have a modern browser) and Ps and stuff? If it is not in the HTML and it is not in the DOM where is it?
It is probably worth a mention here that work on a new CSS column module is in progress and if you have some suggestions now would be a good time to make them known.
Update:
Apparently the Table is in my head… no wonder I couldn’t find it. :)
also.. Here is another example without a “display: table” rule defined and acceptable semantics. This does however expose a small bug in Opera (at least on the mac).
