Demonstration
This is a demonstration showing the use of a DOM-based multi-column layout. The principal site is created with a single column, then using an analysis of the page's dimensions a DOM script will determine how many columns could replace the single column within the space available.
This routine is in its initial design phase and has not been optimised nor the rough edges taken off. There are several known shortcomings including difficulties with start and end tags when splitting blocks in IE6/Win. The function works well in Firefox, Safari and Camino at present and, to a lesser extent, Opera 8.5.

Alas, we have digressed!
