Multiple left floated divs (thumbnails)

Sent by Theodore on 10 August 2004 17:05


Hi all,
used to be part of this list a few years ago, now I have a problem,so 
I'm back (...)

Arbitrary number of small DIVs  inside a container DIV of variable 
width. I don't know the width nor the height  of those small DIVs 
beforehand either. Ideally I'd like them to look lke this:
x x x x x x x x x
x x x x x x x x x

The css for the x's is just "float:left" , plus some margin and padding 
stuff.

However, when a DIV is higher that the others, the DIV after the break 
"sticks" to it like this; (Imagine the big "X" extends down instead of 
up)
x x X x x x x
          x
x x x x x x

What should I do?

Hope all this makes sense,
thank you,
Theodore



Example code follows:

padding:0;}
DIV.t{float:left;padding:10px;}
</style>
</head><body>
<div id="framebox">
   <div class="t">1</div>
   <div class="t">2</div>

   <div class="t">4</div>
   <div class="t">5</div>
   <div class="t">6</div>
   <div class="t">7</div>
   <div class="t">8</div>
   <div class="t">9</div>
   <div class="t">10<br>10</div> <!-- the heigher div -->
   <div class="t">11</div>
   <div class="t">12</div>
   <div class="t">13</div>
