A month ago I requested a SizeGroup feature that would ensure that all elements that were assigned to the same group would have an equal
width and/or height.
But then it was said it wasn't a job for CSS since that was behavioural. Could someone tell me what that means? I
think maybe my request was misunderstood to be about scripting.
Consider the following to be a box of 3 floating elements.
| A... |
B... | C... |
A has a fluid width that depends on its contents.
B is whatever, both in terms of contents and width.
C should be just as
wide as A, no more no less. However it doesn't have the same contents as A. Remember that the width of A isn't set explicitly.
Is this at
all possible to do with today's standards, scripting excluded? If not, wouldn't it be a valid request to have SizeGroup, so one could use
CSS like this:
#a { size-group-width: 'thisGroup'; }
#b { width: auto; }
#c { width: auto; size-group-width: 'thisGroup'; }
