Partly - the Safari 5 implementation is based on an older version of the draft (observe the width of the columns between Safari 5 and Chrome 10+, Gecko 1.9.2+), and it has bugs. Both issues work correctly in recent webkit nightlies. David is right that putting the image inside the <p> allows it to show in Safari 5. Setting the column-width in percentages make it work the same in Safari 5 as Gecko 1.9.2+, WebKit nightlies/Chrome. What Opera 11.11 does with column balancing has me seriously puzzled :-p. > Error on my side? Yes ! :~) You need to at least specify a column-rule-style for the column-rule to display. ‘column-rule’ is a shorthand and works just the same as the ‘border’ shorthand. The default '-style’ is ‘none’. The ‘-color’ is optional; if not specified, it takes the <color> computed for the element. Thus: column-rule: 4px solid; Here is my test file, for the record: http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp2/multicol.html Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [css-d@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
