I'm certainly not a UI expert, but I think that the CSS layout engine
is almost of imbecilic design. I cannot believe how difficult it is to
have side-by-side block level elements (such as DIVs). I think Java's
box layout would have been ideal for CSS. Want three columns of text?
Something like this should get it done instead of some black magic of
absolute positioning or floats.
<body style="layout: horizontal-box;">
<div style="layout: textflow; width: 33%;">Text in column1</div>
<div style="layout: textflow; width: 33%;">Text in column2</div>
<div style="layout: textflow; width: 34%;">Text in column3</div>
</body>
