I’m working on a chunk that is going to do the following:
+-----------------------------------------+
| +-----+ +-------------------+ |
| | | | | |
| | img | | | |
| | | | | |
| +-----+ | | |
| | | |
| +-------------+ | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | |
| +-------------+ +--------------------+ |
+-----------------------------------------+
The boxes without any markings are text blocks. The above template is for the detailed story display, i.e. when you click on a content link you go to a page with the above type of display.
In Firefox >1.5 you have the moz-column attribute that allows you to split a DIV-block into its constituent columns. Any text in the first column below the image is then automatically flowed into column 2.
.content {
moz-column: 2;
}
But IE can’t do columns. Has anyone worked on a way to get around this in IE? I realize that this feature of Firefox may not be that known. I just stumbled over it myself a couple of days ago, although it was defined by W3 in 2001...

This CSS3 spec is awaited with impatience, most definitely !
I remember having to build a website with a 3-column setup, similar to magazines and newspaper. Luckily, someone @Textpattern’s had built a plugin that allowed to split content in several columns, called
jcb_columnize.
I don’t know if someone could pick something up in the code of the plugin and port it to MODx... maybe post this in the Wishlist with a reference to this txp plugin, who knows ?

You’re right, I failed to mention this because personnally I don’t like having columns implemented in js - it won’t degrade gracefully if js is turned off - that’s why I’d rather have a server-side solution (i.e snippet).
But yeah, it’s a solution too...
