CSS Swag: Multi-Column Lists One of the minor holy grails of XHTML and CSS is to produce a single, semantically logical ordered list that wraps into vertical columns. The ideal situation, in my view, would be a single XHTML list whose wrapping is controlled entirely by CSS. Further, the wrapped list should tolerate text resizing (easily accomplished by styling everything in ems). CSS and the browsers that support it don’t yet provide us with “vertical wrap,” so we have to augment basic list markup with additional attributes and styling rules to achieve the effect. I’ll take you there—or as close as we can get using today’s browsers—but along the way let’s look at a variety of ways to accomplish a similar effect. We’ll be shooting for something that looks a bit like this: (Why, you’ve doubtless been pondering, is this article entitled “CSS Swag”? Watch your step#section1 I’ll warn you up front.

Learn CSS Positioning in Ten Steps: position static relative absolute float 1. position:static The default positioning for all elements is position:static, which means the element is not positioned and occurs where it normally would in the document. Normally you wouldn't specify this unless you needed to override a positioning that had been previously set. 2. position:relative If you specify position:relative, then you can use top or bottom, and left or right to move the element relative to where it would normally occur in the document. Let's move div-1 down 20 pixels, and to the left 40 pixels: Notice the space where div-1 normally would have been if we had not moved it: now it is an empty space. It appears that position:relative is not very useful, but it will perform an important task later in this tutorial. 3. position:absolute When you specify position:absolute, the element is removed from the document and placed exactly where you tell it to go. Let's move div-1a to the top right of the page: What I really want is to position div-1a relative to div-1. Footnotes 10.

Thanks to efforts like Nathan Smith's 960.gs, designing with a grid is less complicated, and better looking sites can be crafted with ease.

Now in its fourth revision, Less Framework takes the power of a CSS grid system and adds in support for CSS media queries to support multiple design and typography layouts. In May 2010, Ethan Marcotte's "Responsive Web Design" helped spur a movement of building websites designed to fluidly adapt to various platforms and device sizes — think mobile optimized sites and tablet-specific layouts — without the need for an entirely different design or special URL.
