I was working on something where I wanted to explore the idea of multi-column layouts, newspaper style if you will. For years people have tried to do this in websites with not much luck – lots of messy JavaScript yielding unpredictable results. But as with most things like this I’ve been trying to do lately I figured there might be a solution in CSS3, and a quick search showed me there was. Just like when I was looking into overriding the default text selection color it took just a few lines of code to see the power of the multi-column …
Finally getting round to testing out some CCS3 techniques I’ve been reading about and drooling over for the past year. Noticed a site I swung by thats text selection color wasn’t the browser default so I looked it up and found out how to change the background and font colors. It’s nothing new, people have been doing it for a while, just this is the first chance I’ve had to start playing.
