Faux columns is a web design technique that allows for the creation of the illusion of equal height columns using a background image in the body. This is seen as a CSS-based alternative to using HTML tables for column layout. The term was coined by Dan Cederholm in his article for A List Apart, Faux Columns. The application of faux columns has been extended through a method called liquid faux columns, which allows faux columns to adapt and re-proportion themselves to the browser height.
Famous quotes containing the word columns:
“Newspaperman: That was a magnificent work. There were these mass columns of Apaches in their war paint and feather bonnets. And here was Thursday leading his men in that heroic charge.
Capt. York: Correct in every detail.
Newspaperman: He’s become almost a legend already. He’s the hero of every schoolboy in America.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
