Hey guys. I've kind of hit a brick wall with my website layout idea. I don't know the actual term for it but I'll explain my situation and I'd appreciate any sort of feedback on how to begin a solution.
What I'm talking about/wanting to do:
Inside a div with a fixed width/height (height is browser window height) I have another 4 divs displayed inline (side-by-side/floated) as columns.
Inside these will be smaller divs with content based on different categories but the content will always change so the heights of each of these divs will be different every time so fixed widths are out of the question.
What I want it to do is say, in column1, if there is more content than column1 can handle, it should overflow into column2.
To give you more information I'll be pulling active livestreams from certain websites using their APIs and I want to display which are online specific to which game the stream is listed under. It'll only display online ones so the height will be different all the time.
Here is what I'm thinking of: http://i.imgur.com/mpjPA.png
Thanks in advance for any feedback or tips and if you'd like more information let me know and I'll do my best to show it.
