How to create CSS layouts without using Float

• jws 19y ago
  I thought I'd have a go at this. The "no tables" crowd always seems to sound morally superior so I recoded a site using these techniques. It's a lie. 90% of the secret is that he makes a DIV to be a TABLE and one to be a TR and some to be TDs using the display:table, display:table-row, display:table-cell. If you want a tabular layout, use a TABLE.

  Floats may be a pain the ass sometimes but percent and em widths make my tummy hurt. Not to mention all the display: table stuff in there and so many browser specific hacks. and LOL "float:left;" in the CSS code, sure its not on layout but it could have been left out on principal very cool to make a layout that looks good without floats, far more effort that I would have put in

    The float:left is only for IE Mac if I remmember correctly. It's quite interesting how much can be done with CSS, even if it is turning lists into tables

  An article on CSS layout with overflowing text and a search box several ems too long? (firefox 2.0.0.6 / linux)
