The author reflects on nearly 20 years since publishing "Transcending CSS" and the evolution of Multi-Column Layout in CSS. Noted for its potential to enhance web design by allowing content to be displayed in columns without extra markup, it remains underused. The limitations of the Multi-Column Layout, such as the inability to style individual column boxes and work with JavaScript, have hindered wider adoption. Additionally, legacy browser support has led many designers to overlook these features due to fears of inconsistent display across different platforms.
Legacy browsers simply ignored the column properties they couldn't process; most designers had yet to accept that websites needn't look the same in every browser.
CSS Columns remains one of the most underused CSS layout tools, despite its potential for creative layout design, leaving many to overlook its unique advantages.
