CSS Layout

grids

First public draft specification in 2011. Put forward and developed by Microsoft. Early implementation in IE10, since then the spec has changed.

Currently not fully supported by any browser but experimental versions can be switched on via flags in Firefox (since version 40), Chrome (since version 29) and Opera (since version 28).

CSS Grids continues the 'The era of intential layout' by giving web developers more tools for laying out webpages.
