As far as I know there is no easy way to split a text block into multiple columns on a webpage. Is there any sort of Ruby plugin that has this functionality? So you can specify the size of a column and have the plugin calculate how much text fits into each column based on text sizes etc?

I am not sure if this would be of any help in your situation, but there is CSS 3 multi column display which is up and coming and Firefox has an early implementation (-moz-column-count) that works quite well. See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/multicolumn.html i use this in an intranet application where i can insist on Firefox as the browser of choice. tonypm --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Thanks tonypm. Yes, I have heard about the CSS 3 version. I hope it doesn''t take to long before it gets widely implemented. I found a javascript version here in case anybody else needs to implement multiple columns before CSS 3: http://alistapart.com/articles/css3multicolumn Best regards Sebastian On Apr 1, 7:05 pm, "tonypm" <tonypmar...-PkbjNfxxIARBDgjK7y7TUQ@public.gmane.org> wrote:> I am not sure if this would be of any help in your situation, but > there is CSS 3 multi column display which is up and coming and Firefox > has an early implementation (-moz-column-count) that works quite > well. > > Seehttp://www.quirksmode.org/css/multicolumn.html > > i use this in an intranet application where i can insist on Firefox as > the browser of choice. > > tonypm--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
