The float solution I typed in my original post was the only way I could figure out how to get a columnar display (without using tables) for a long time. (It's actually how I designed this page, back in 2013.) It was a hacky, inconvenient solution--I freely admit that--but all I knew was that "ZOMG FLOAT: LEFT AND RIGHT ARE BE ALL END ALL THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE DIVS DISPLAY BESIDE EACH OTHER EVERY SINGLE TIME AMEN." I didn't know that any tools and snippets existed solely to make divs behave like a table :Ddubiousdisc wrote:Robin: I mean that it seems...too much code? :o I don't know what it's for, but I'm getting the sense that there must be a simpler and less brain-wrecking way! I'm just scratching my head because I know that even the most complicated things I've made didn't have that much code behind...
(Add into that the fact that at the time I thought every designer out there except me was writing ALL their own code, never having to copy-paste ANYTHING or use snippets, etc. That made me think that because I couldn't figure out how to write ALL my own code, I was a dumb designer/developer and didn't have much talent. After coming to Amassment, I learned that using snippets and webdesign tools was not a cardinal sin after all! :D)
