We’ve got great support across the board in modern browsers: Safari, Chrome, Opera, even IE! Unfortunately, IE support only goes back to IE8 with IE6 and 7 having zero support. To be fair, the situation here could be worse. The first issue that arises with using the CSS outline property is of course browser compatibility. We found our solution, let’s pat ourselves on the back and call it a day! Unfortunately, there’s always a caveat.
Here’s a graphic to make everything a little clearer: 80% divided by five columns equals a 16% width on each column. Then we subtract 20% from the total width (100%) to come up with 80% left for the actual columns. If we want 4% margins between our columns, 4% times 5 columns equals 20% of our width being reserved for margins. The first thing I like to do is think about margins. If that’s the ultimate goal, why not go all the way?Ĭombining multiple column layouts with percentage based widths involves a little bit of math, but it’s actually super basic and can be handled by anyone with basic addition and multiplication skills (we performed this next bit in our responsive thumbnail gallery tutorial). Sure, you can combine media queries with static widths, but then your layout isn’t nearly as adaptive as it could be.

When coding a full on responsive site, one highly recommended practice is to use percentage based widths on your content. When designing responsive layouts these seemingly innocent touches can have the effect of ruining everything! Responsive Math There are a million issues that arise in situations like this but today I want to focus on one that specifically threw me a curve ball: borders. Especially when you’re approaching complex layouts in CSS. No matter how prepared you think you are, when it comes time to actually bring your project to life, some major hurdles are bound to present themselves. However, real world coding has a way of surprising you. I’ve spent a lot of time both reading and writing about responsive design, so I know both the theory and the practices well enough that I should never encounter any major hurdles. In theory, this looks nice and simple to me. “Real world coding has a way of surprising you”
