This example is a perfect reason for why I'm interested in this discussion. I would like a CSS syntax that can do this:

HTML:
box
box
box

Display in "wide" Viewport (high-res browser):
[ ][ ][ ]

Display in thinner Viewport:
[][]
[  ]

Display in very thin Viewport (cell phone):
[ ]
[ ]
[ ]

There is presently no way to do this short of a very elaborate hack in any browser. Float brings you closest, but a DOM hack is required to really pull it off. Tables don't work because they force the 3 Columns to reside on the same Row no matter what.

Unless I'm missing something... .
