<MULTICOL>	NN 3 IE n/a HTML n/a

<MULTICOL>...</MULTICOL>	End Tag: Required

A Navigator-specific element that renders its content in any number of evenly spaced flowing columns on the page. The way this element flows content might remind you of a desktop publishing program that automatically flows long content into column space that has been defined for the page. There is no equivalent for this element in HTML or Internet Explorer, but the columns style sheet attribute is defined in CSS2.

Example <MULTICOL COLS=2 GUTTER=20 WIDTH=500> LongFlowingHTMLContent </MULTICOL>

COLS

NN 3 IE n/a HTML n/a

COLS="columnCount"

Required

Defines the number of columns across which the browser distributes and renders the content of the element. For a given width of the content, the browser does its best to make each column the same length.

Example

<MULTICOL COLS=2 GUTTER=20 WIDTH=500>
LongFlowingHTMLContent
</MULTICOL>

Value
Any positive integer.

Default

GUTTER

NN 3 IE n/a HTML n/a

GUTTER="pixelCount"

Optional

Specifies the number of pixels to be placed between columns. The browser then calculates the width of the content columns by subtracting all the gutters from the total available width.

Example

<MULTICOL COLS=2 GUTTER=20 WIDTH=500>
LongFlowingHTMLContent
</MULTICOL>

Value
Any positive integer.

Default

WIDTH

NN 3 IE n/a HTML n/a

WIDTH="elementWidth"

Optional

Defines the total width of the columns plus gutters. You can specify the width in pixels or as a percentage of the width of the next outer container (usually the document BODY).

Example

<MULTICOL COLS=2 GUTTER=20 WIDTH=500>
LongFlowingHTMLContent
</MULTICOL>

Value
Any length value in pixels or percentage of available space.

Default

100%
