CSS3 Multiple Columns
CSS3 Multiple Columns
With CSS3, you can create multiple columns for laying out text - like in newspapers!
In this chapter you will learn about the following multiple column properties:
column-count
column-gap
column-rule
Browser Support
The numbers in the table specifies the first browser version that fully supports the property.
Numbers followed by -webkit- or -moz- specifies the first version that worked with a prefix.
Property
column-count 10.0 4.0 -webkit- 2.0 -moz- 3.1 -webkit- 15.0 -webkit-
11.1
column-gap 10.0 4.0 -webkit- 2.0 -moz- 3.1 -webkit- 15.0 -webkit-
11.1
column-rule 10.0 4.0 -webkit- 2.0 -moz- 3.1 -webkit- 15.0 -webkit-
11.1
CSS3 Create Multiple Columns
The column-count property specifies the number of columns an element should be divided into:
Example
Divide the text in a div element into three columns:
div {
-webkit-column-count: 3; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
-moz-column-count: 3; /* Firefox */
column-count: 3;
}
Try it yourself
CSS3 Specify the Gap Between Columns
The column-gap property specifies the gap between the columns:
Example
Specify a 40 pixels gap between the columns:
div {
-webkit-column-gap: 40px; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
-moz-column-gap: 40px; /* Firefox */
column-gap: 40px;
}
Try it yourself
CSS3 Column Rules
The column-rule property sets the width, style, and color of the rule between columns.
Example
Specify the width, style and color of the rule between columns:
