This is very easy to accomplish with some simple CSS and that is the intended way to solve such problems. Design- and presentation-related things like this has nothing to do with HTML. What you would do in CSS is typically float ('float: left') elements with specified height and width inside a container. When the container's width increases, more elements will fit on the same line (or "row") and would give a fluid look, almost like GtkIconView. -- Asbjørn Ulsberg -=|=- http://virtuelvis.com/quark/ «He's a loathsome offensive brute, yet I can't look away»Received on Wednesday, 7 December 2005 09:33:47 GMT |
