CSS columns-width ignored width

[Col_Boogie]

Using <div style='width:16.2in; column-width:8in; -moz-col-width:8in; -wb-kit-column-width:8in'> the width:16.2in is ignored and columns spread out over available width. using javascript document.body.style.width='16.2in' fixes in special case but is not right solution in general.

You should put the unprefixed properties last. Btw, do you have a minimal testcase?

go to http://kboogie.5gbfree.com/ - that is final modified code, copy and play with it. PS I do not think putting it in 2 separate <div> helps. I know nothing in CSS that worries about what order of prperties, except for conflicting CSS sources (which has preference, I have yet to figure out)

It looks like your Javascript is playing with the column-count. Maybe that's your problem?

Btw, the last property in the cascade overwrites whatever came before, and behavior for the prefixed version may differ from standards.
