blogs.pathf.com — The W3C's CSS working group recently released a draft of a new multi column layout module--to be included (with possible modifications) into the CSS 3 specs. For those web developers that have been lamenting the lack of adequate multi column support in current supported versions of the CSS specs, this is an exiting addition.

thinkfr33ly dont be a douchebag. I'm sure his layout involved a lot more than just the layout, but also colors, graphics, etc... Granted it would take slightly longer to make a "raw" 3 column layout in CSS as opposed to a 3 cell table, but not if you know what you're doing.

It was indeed your incompitence. Perhaps you should research 'float' and 'margin'. : )[div style="float: right; width: 20%;"] right [/div][div style="float: left; width: 20%;"] left [/div][div style="margin-left: 21%; margin-right: 21%;"] center [/div]

Disagree totally. Using CSS, the semantics are still intact, and there is not a tag soup to wade through of table, tr, and td.

and these comments like "2016" aren't kidding. css3 is still being settled. css3 and javascript2 are literally not coming before 2012 at the earliest, by then i suspect something highly graphical and concurrent (secondlife, WoW) is going to start replacing the web as the medium of choice.

What about Yahoo!'s 3-column CSS templates?<a class="user" href="http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/pattern.php">http://developer.yahoo.com/ypatterns/pattern.php</a>There are some cool ones there.

I like that it's a user experience design site yet has a big fat ass header at the top sucking up prime screen real estate. CSS3 is only useful if browsers support it.

@BogthaI doubt people still using table hacks would be able to understand the W3C specifications.

I tried to find solution in CSS 2. The tools at <a class="user" href="http://www.pagecolumn.com/">http://www.pagecolumn.com/</a> generate 1,2,3,4,5 column div layouts with CSS 2.0 techniques using %, px, or em.
