I used float for placing tiles in the page
I know this is not the best approach for this kind of design
I want these tiles be dynamic in the future, I mean I will add JS for dragging and delete and moving these tiles and push each other to fit in the place,
another thing is I wanna design this page responsive, I mean with resizing window these tiles move and change their position and resize
I checked gridster plugin but need to do it from scratch for more functionality
and this is my Question :
Is there better solution for CSS instead of using float and without positioning?(absolute, relative and …)
(without conflict with future JS and upper statements)
It’s important for me to support IE8
thanks for your help, also this is my first STACKOVERFLOW question 😉
I’ve created something similar and I only used float
<div>s to make these blocks. See my example. It works across browsers and I hope this can help you.EDIT: The example is updated to show the layout when different sizes of blocks were used. Still, the example uses only 1
<div>tag as the target.
