    copied!<p>I have something like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="container"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've set the container to a clear fix and floated the divs inside the container, like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/PI6Pq.gif" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>However, when I have additional text in a div, I'd <strong>like</strong> it to push the other divs down as if they were a row, like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IhkEi.gif" alt="the divs should work like &quot;rows&quot; if possible "></p> <p>Instead, because of the floats, I'm getting something more like this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/R3bhz.gif" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I'm just wondering as to the best way to go about this. I <strong>could</strong> put a wrapper around each "row", like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="container"&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class="row"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; div class="row"&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>But that seems to be a lot of extra non-semantic divs...plus if I am generating the divs dynamically (through a list-view in a cms) then I have to add extra code to count each multiple of three divs...</p>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
