In part one and part two we've discussed the positioning, display and floats properties of CSS2. In the final part of this series, we'll discuss the new options CSS3 gives us: The advanced layout module and the grid positioning module.
CSS3 is built up out of individual modules. The advanced layout module and the Grid layout module both are quite similar, and it's reasonable to assume that they get merged in the future (At least, I certainly hope so) or that they choose one over the other. Both fix the same problems: Multicolumn complex layouts like the ones that are currently possible in print (think magazines) but awfully hard to do with CSS.
It is currently still a working draft, with the last revision made on august 9th of last year (2007). The main idea of the module is working with templates in which you include different "slots" for your content.
You can see that this changes the way both the display and position properties in CSS work. The current display property seems to have been renamed to display-role.
See how I also have two a slots there? By placing the same letters next to (or under) each other you can create larger slots for your content.
you can easily imagine aaaa being the header, having some whitespace below it, and images alternating left and right throughout the text.
The sizes on the right of the row denote the height of each row. If you don't fill them in CSS will size it automatically. At the bottom you place the width for each column of slots. You can use the value intrinsic to let it's contents determine the size or height. If you use * (asterisk), all rows or columns with an asterisk will be of the same height or width.
As you've seen in the example above, position allows you to pick a slot for your content. Using the value same it will pick the value it's last sibling was using.
Using the same HTML as the first example, the above example would result in .second being in slot a as well.
There are some more details, but if you really want to learn those, check out the specifications. Also realise that anything I've written above can change in the future.
Last updated on the 5th of September of 2007, this module, made by two Microsoft employees, approaches the problem a bit differently.
You could say that while the advanced layout module merely wants to simulate more complex magazine or newspaper layouts, the grid positioning module tries to emulate them completely. It uses the properties columns, grid-columns, grid-rows and column-gap. It also introduces a new metric: gr. which is one 'grid' wide. it describes the width between two gridlines within an element.
Looking at the different properties, you can see that it does about the same as the advanced layout module, in that you define columns and rows (so, slots). The grid positioning module has a special property for column-gap, where the advanced layout uses regular ol' padding and margin.
You can do the same for grid-rows as well. Alternatively it offers a * value as well, where all columns/rows with the value of * will be sized equally. Something new however, is that you can also specify things like 2*, 3* and 10*, where the number will multiply the generated size.
Check out the quite readable (and illustrated!) specifications for more information. Note that this module as well is still far from finished and a lot of things need to be specified.
I've written about the limitations of floating before, and it seems that CSS3 offers a module that answers my woes. There is however one caveat: The module, generated content for paged media currently targets only paged media (i.e., print). Luckily for us, it seems that the Grid positioning module wants to incorporate it into other visual media as well.
You can specify a vertical float position as well as a horizontal float position and you can use float-offset to specify where in the block you want float the image. This means you can have the text automatically flow around it at all sides, making it very easy to create magazine style layouts looking like, for example, the website Stuff and nonsense by Andy Clarke.
And with that the series on CSS Positioning comes to an end. It's been a lot of fun for me to write these, and the resulting discussion and shared knowledge in the comments have been great as well. Thanks all!

This article has been very helpful for me particularly because recently I've been digging more quite some informations about CSS and more recently "div".
Thanks for the articles. Part 3 gets pretty complex. I'll have to do some quality CSS time to wrap my head around some of the examples you gave. I appreciate your writing this!

awesome article, but part 3 is really hard to understand, need repetitive read to understand it.
Thanks for the articles, my brain hurts from part 3 – I don't think I can understand it until I've implemented and played with the css for several hours. Appreciate the walk through! – a tutorial on working with positioning of layered divs would be really helpful – that's what I'm digging into right now.

Finding fashionable and practical maternity clothes can be SUCH a challenge. I've found some cute clothes, but I find that with most of them they are just not practical. I'm pregnant, but I still want to look cute!
In saying that, I also want to be comfortable. I don't want to be tugging and shifting my clothes all day long. With dresses specifically, I have a hard time finding dresses that are long enough to cover my expanding bump and still be a decent length.
For this review I received the Teal Crochet Top Maternity Dress from Pink Blush Maternity. Pink Blush Maternity offers trendy maternity clothes for us expecting moms. I put this dress to the ultimate comfort test for this review by wearing it for an entire day of shopping. I am all about feeling comfortable when I'm going to be spending an entire day on my feet.
The first thing I noticed about the dress is that it covers my bump and is still long enough for me to feel comfortable wearing it (with some more room for my growing bump!). That is really important to me. I also noticed the quality of the material that the dress is made of appeared very durable and is not flimsy at all.
So many times I find myself tugging at maternity clothes because of where the elastic hits me. That was not the case with this dress. In fact, the friend I was shopping with even commented that she hadn't seen me pull at or tug on the dress all day (which is a big deal for this pregnant lady!).
Another thing I love about this dress is that I'll be able to wear it after baby is born. It's not so obviously maternity wear that it won't do for after baby. I love that quality of versatility.
So, after an entire day of shopping and wearing myself out, not once did I regret wearing a dress for the trip. It was very comfortable and cool in this Alabama heat. I was able to shop while comfortable without feeling like I was dressed like a slob. I felt proud to show off my growing bump in this dress. If you are looking for some fashionable and practical maternity clothes, check out Pink Blush Maternity–they've got some great sale prices on quality maternity clothing right now!
Pink Blush Maternity is giving a $25 e-gift card away to one lucky Luker Family Tales reader! I am very excited about this, and I know you are too!
*Giveaway will run from midnight on 5/20 through midnight on 6/7. You are not eligible to win this giveaway if you have previously won a giveaway from Pink Blush Maternity in the past.
