Two months back there was a bit of a hubbub about masonry layout in CSS with Jen at Apple making a case<\/a> and Rachel at Google agreeing<\/a> those use cases would be great, but should be based on display: masonry;<\/code> not display: grid;<\/code>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then: nothing. Web standards just move at the pace that it moves and that’s usually good slow<\/a>. But I admit I’m a little surprised that it’s been radio silence. I think there is a CSS Working Group meeting in Spain this very week though so we’ll see if that ignites anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My own feedback<\/a> said this is partially a conversation about tabbing order<\/a>, and it definitely is<\/a>. So then the bigger question becomes, does this tabbing issue need to be solved as a part of masonry<\/em>? Or can we solve it more broadly? Rachel introduces the idea<\/a> that it can<\/a><\/em> be more broadly solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
