Re: CSS display: table

Dominique,

Thank you.  I am familiar with the debate about using tables for layout.  The technique described by Jean-Luc  should satisfy the purists on that point, while still allowing what is often called grid-based layout.  A bit of a loophole in my opinion, but it can save hours of needless debate.

My own concern with such layout, regardless of how it is achieved, is that it does not accommodate narrow displays as well as the various float techniques do, but today's devices seem to be solving that problem (with scaling, zooming, easier horizontal scrolling, etc.) so perhaps it 's no longer an issue.
