Finally, over at HTML.it, today we published Layout Gala. In November 2005 I wrote a three-parts article on pro.html.it on creating CSS layouts. Starting from the same markup, I had several goals in mind:

• Getting the largest number of CSS layouts
• Any of the columns could be the longest
• Valid CSS, no hacks nor workarounds
• a good cross-browser compatibility

The result is a set of 40 layouts that have been tested successfully on Internet Explorer/win 5.0, 5.5, 6 and beta 2 preview of version 7; Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.5 and Safari 2. We've thought in the article there was one thing missing, as is the index page. While preparing it we've thought it could be a resource that was worth sharing with an international audience.

So we published Layout Gala, the index page in english where you can see and download the layouts. Finally, I can reveal what I was working on when I published here the article on filler text on demand...
