So i was looking for an answer for this question, sadly at first i didn't really found one, now 3 hours later i did.
I found a JavaScript lib which uses the css3 attributes (if i understood it right, only tried to make it work and it did, gonna read in the js later )
lib found here: http://www.csscripting.com/wiki/index.php?title=CSS3_Multi_Column
only disadvantage is that the text you want to have multicolumned HAS to be between two tags ( i prefer using <p>
tag, as it also supports multiple <p>
tags.)
tested it in ff 3.6, ie 8, opera 10.51 and chrome 4.1.
Im not in the position to test for older browsers, so i recommend someone does that soon ;P
cheers!
