CSS3 Multicolumn in JavaScript
July 19th, 2005
Some enterprising (read: “crazy”) folks have gone and implemented CSS3 multicolumn support *in JavaScript*. Very nifty. As I noted a few days ago, though, multiple columns is not so great for reading on-screen. A printed view that uses multiple columns would be beautiful, however, and it’s quite cool that people using browsers other than Firefox 1.1 can get in on the action.
Crazy? me ?
I’m sure designers will find ways to use and abuse the CSS3 multi-column, and I agree, vertical scrolling + multi-column is probaby a bad idea. Multi-column and no scrolling at all is much better.
