The 'grid' element is very neat. Basically, it's <table>s, but in CSS, which is where they should be.
Also interesting is that Adobe is taking a front-and-centre role in the new CSS. Forward thinking of them to see the writing on the wall.
- olavk 15y agoActually, the display:table-* properties in CSS2 is the CSS equivalent to html tables. 'grid' seem to allow positioning of elements in a grid independent of their ordering in the html, which is very nice, and more powerful than either html or CSS2.
- StrawberryFrog 15y agoThe grid element is one of the inputs from Microsoft. This is not very surprising - it uses the basic concepts from the grid in WPF and Silverlight. It's pretty a cool way to lay things out.
- Volpe 15y agoDid I miss something? How are Adobe front and centre? They don't have a browser... I'd say Google/Apple/Mozilla are taking front and centre, with Adobe trying to come up with new tricks to fend off the inevitable death of flash.
- talmand 15y agoHow exactly is Adobe making proposals to the CSS standard going to fend off the "inevitable death" of Flash? One has very little to do with the other. Is it so easily forgotten that Adobe has tools other than Flash? Ever heard of Dreamweaver? Plus there are numerous companies involved in creating the HTML and CSS standards that are front and center that are not involved in creating a browser. Take your blinders off.
- Volpe 15y agoI'm the one with blinders? - Seriously? The browsers implement the standards... hence the front and centre. IE defined the "standard" for a long time (and still does). Dreamweaver is a horrible example of 'front and centre' of HTML/CSS. It creates horrible markup. None of Adobe's other products are at all related to HTML/CSS (Edge aside).
