Re: [css-d] Flowing text from one column to another
Dave M G wrote: [···] Perhaps I'm just not using the right search terms. I have a feeling this is either totally obvious beginner's stuff, or entirely impossible. I have a bunch of text that I have contained inside a div. What I want to do is have the text break into two different columns. Ideally, the height of the columns, and the containing div would end up as 50% of the combined height of the two columns. So, for example, if my text were simply the numbers 1 through 10, each in it's own p tag, it would end up looking something like this in the final layout: ---div begins--- 16 27 38 49 510 ---div ends--- Is that even possible? The good news: yes, it is possible. The bad news: you need either to make sure all your client browsers support CSS3[1] or build a (JS) script to do the dirty work. Rafael.

Re: [css-d] Flowing text from one column to another [SOLVED]
Rafael, Gunlaug, Thank you for replying. By following the A List Apart link that Gunlaug provided, I also found this article which is a little more what I was talking about: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/css3multicolumn Apparently the key term I needed was multi-column as opposed to saying 2 column or 3 columns. Google can be friend or foe, depending on which words one uses. Anyway, I see from your advice and from the explanatory web pages that what I want isn't really available yet. Kind of suspected that might be the case. I'm not really up for fiddling with JavaScript or anything to get this done. I'll just live with making a different layout for now.
