I was doing some CSS layout (thank the lord for min and max-width) this morning, and was wondering, “why the hell am I still using workarounds for such simple thing as columns?” Oh, because Multi-column layout in CSS is still a dream (new draft last week). Until then, we’re stuck with using clever hacks [put up my three column variation – more elegant and useful than blue robot 3 col]. Why is this better than tables? (Yes I’ve read the discussion on this, it’s a rhetorical question).
At least one day, when css3-multicol is actually implemented, there’ll be at least one new feature.
