Or is there a current benefit--that's worth the effort--of using the new stuff now?
[...] As a non-expert myself, I'm struggling with the same conflicts. So far, I have found flaws in most current methods of laying out pages. Floats can drop under certain circumstances; inline-blocks have spaces between that can't be reliably adjusted. So flexbox looks like a better solution. There's a limited way in which old and new can be combined, I found. If you use floats or inline blocks as of old, then later add a flex declaration on the container element, the floated/inline-block child elements are treated as flex elements willy-nilly. Again, there are limitations as to what can be done. But I suggest it's worth using some of what's available on modern browsers, considering the old methods are really "hacks." Just one hobbyist's opinion. :) -- Cordially, David ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
