CSS3: Multi-column layout

Using CSS3 for Multi-column layout is the way to go for the web developers, though IE7 and IE8 don't support this CSS attribute. We can always create a separate CSS file for IE7 and IE8, where we can define a columned inline bock level CSS for these two IE versions. It would be a great beginning if we start using CSS3 from now on.

<style type="text/css">

div#multicolumn1 {
-moz-column-count: 3;
-moz-column-gap: 20px;
-webkit-column-count: 3;
-webkit-column-gap: 20px;
column-count: 3;
column-gap: 20px;
}

</style>


<div id="multicolumn1">

Modernizr is a small and simple JavaScript library that helps you take advantage of emerging web technologies (CSS3, HTML 5) while still maintaining a fine level of control over older browsers that may not yet support these new technologies.

Modernizr uses feature detection to test the current browser against upcoming features like rgba(), border-radius, CSS Transitions and many more. These are currently being implemented across browsers and with Modernizr you can start using them right now, with an easy way to control the fallbacks for browsers that don’t yet support them.

Additionally, Modernizr creates a self-titled global JavaScript object which contains properties for each feature; if a browser supports it, the property will evaluate true and if not, it will be false.
