Column CSS for Internet Explorer
June 3, 2013
So a while back I had to display a CMS field into a 3 column field.
Now there are a good amount of ways to go about this, but as a purist I’ll try to keep it simple. Lets talk about using Column CSS for all browsers, including Internet Explorer.
CSS3 has a great rule for column css which is pretty simple. Here is the CSS code I used.
-moz-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-count: 2;
column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 50px;
-webkit-column-gap: 50px;
column-gap: 50px;
Now those styles work great, but what I REALLY want to touch on is the loading of a columnizer.js file that allows you to make column css for IE8. Here is my code for that.
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
<script src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/js/jquery.columnizer.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<![endif]-->
This is the basic way to make very pure column info for dynamic input variables.
