You’d have thought I would have finished porting wasabicube before embarking on another project… Alas, no. On Saturday I took it into my head to implement a routine that I’d been thinking about for quite some time; the problem of displaying dynamic columns of text on a Web page.

To that end I’ve developed a very alpha DOM routine called columnShuffler() that allows an existing <div> to be displayed in a number of floating columns. So far, barring a few idiosyncracies, it pretty much works in Firefox 1.5/Win, Firefox 1.5/Mac, Safari 2.0.3, Camino 1.0b2, Opera 8.5/Win and IE6/Win. It basically sucks big time in IE5.2/Mac so I’m ignoring that for the moment!

I’ll post an entry with much more detail in the next couple of days, but in the meantime you’re welcome to take the demo version for a spin.
