Hi
Something that I asked myself for years already: If you have some
floating boxes, you may want them to fill the available width and then
continue at a next row. Now, if these boxes do not have a fixed height,
this will result in rows that do not start at the left edge, as this
example illustrates:
http://www.markusernst.ch/stuff_for_the_world/test-floating-boxes.html
Vary the window width to see how new rows are started according to the
heights of the boxes in the upper row.
The only CSS way I have been able to work around this so far (without
scripting) is defining a fixed box height, which is not a good solution
for multiple reasons. I would like the boxes to be rendered as if they
were wrapped in table rows, each row having the height necessary for the
tallest box in the row. But of course I cannot actually wrap them (or
use table-* styles), because the number of boxes per row varies with the
width of the viewport.
Is there a good solution for this problem?
Thanks for your comments!
Markus
