[thelist] CSS Woes

for instance, like this?

------------------------------------------
|   nav  | container0                     |
|        |--------------------------------|
|        | float  | float  | float  |     |
|        |        |        |        |     |
|        | more   |        |        |     |
|        | stuff  |        |        |     |
|        | in the |        |        |     |
|        | column |        |        |     |
|        | which  |        |        |     |
|        | wraps  |        |        |     |
|        | due to |        |        |     |
|        | wodth  |        |        |     |

so you're floating entire columns left against each other?

agh; that won't ensure apples on one line, oranges on the next, side-by-side

there has to be a way to think vertically instead of horizontally.

what if you do in fact use a table, classing each cell (<td class="item_01">) so you could visible/invisible all that class, without affecting the rest of the <tr> ? it would isolate vertical, columnar sections of data.
