As once raved about on alistapart a couple of years ago.

CSS3 Multi-Colum Layout Demonstration and Documentation - CSScripting.com

Can I get this to work? Can I feck. I've even copied the xhtml and css from their example page and it still ignored the js. ( Untitled Document )

I must be missing something horribly basic, anyone care to show me how I'm being a moron? Because this is doing my head in.

On a quick look, it looks like you have all the functions attached, but they are not being called anywhere. Try adding this to the end of your javascript file:

window.onload = function()
{
    CSS3MultiColumn()
}

Although I don't know if CSS3MultiColumn is the correct function to be calling onload. But since its first, I figure why not try it...

The thing is I haven't touched their js file, it should work 'out of the box' and it is for them - its the way I've implemented it thats wrong - this should be the easiest thing in the world and I can't get it working!

Maybe they expect designers to know it needs an onload call? I don't know, but there was no function call anywhere in that script. Did you try what I said?

[Hunch]

Doesn't look like an onLoad is necessary. They instantiate an object right at the bottom of the js include file which does a load of initialisation.

Do you have all the paths right for your setup Dusteh? (i.e. the css and js include files)

Edit: Checked your paths - seems ok.

This is so common for the news feed sites.

My bad, I didn't notice the initializing function.
