CSS3 e jQuery multi-column module

The Columnizer jQuery Plugin will automatically layout your content in newspaper column format. You can specify either column width or a static number of columns. And, of course, it’s easy to use! The W3C multi-column module is a CSS level-three working draft, proposed by the W3C to extend the current CSS box model. The module’s intent is to allow content to flow into multiple columns inside an element. It offers new CSS properties that let the designers specify in how many columns an element should be rendered. The browser takes care of formatting the text so that the columns are balanced. As a web designer, you can arrange a text so it flows into several well-balanced columns. Or at least you can try. But as you know, the web is not a medium that provides you absolute control over the final display of information. Your nicely crafted markup may turn out badly if your visitors, for instance, use a different font size or turn images off. Similarly, when you switch from static HTML pages to database-driven content, you lose whatever small ability you had to structure your text. Your markup, accordingly, needs to accommodate content of unknown size.
