Challenge: Grid of boxes

Posted on May 29, 2009 by Javier Ayala

Categories: Challenges

One of the most common problems that web designers has to deal with is when a client ask to have some kind of grid-based on their webdesign. For some of you this might be a piece of cake, but the real challenge cames when you can’t set specific height when you are dealing with a loop that can have big or small amount of text on it.

The Study Case:

Suppose you are working with wordpress, and you need to make some kind of grid out of the information that The Loop is going to throw you away. What would you do to show the information in a grid made out of divs?

The Example image:

gridbox

The Limitations:

You can only use CSS and Javascript to solve this challenge.

Good Luck

When you solve this trick you can use it to do a presentation of photos or your portfolio or something like that.

You can give it a lot of uses in Wordpress for example.

Good Luck
