Hi Yishay, maybe mixing topics, but I only showing how I'm solving in jewel layouts. Why I'm creating new layouts? since I see many problems with mixing layout types (display: block, in other cases flex...), and seems inconsistent, so I'm trying to base all in Jewel in only one system. Flexbox is not the best (I think Grid would be better), but is supported in IE11, so is the middle point right now. A secondary motive was to get rid of JS loops or processing when possible, since layout and positioning nowadays is done completely in CSS, so Jewel layout has (for now), SWF code like in basic (can change when I reach to focus more on SWF part), but JS is turning to use only CSS class selectors, so the browsers handle all positioning. The work is still in progress, for now I get IE11 working again and things positioning right in all browsers, that is by itself a huge improvement over the jewel layout classes that we had some days ago. As Harbs said a collateral effect of all of this (but not a main one) is that we should end with "styles" set in HTML, or at least only use that if we want to make some dynamic change at runtime.
