Creating a responsive layout involves displaying <div> boxes within a grid:
The six individual boxes on this page are placed in a row within the HTML source:
<div class="control">
<div class="controlContent">
<a>VARIABLE-HEIGHT CONTENT with potential image float</a>
</div>
</div>
The control divs allocate percentage widths to each box, enabling grouping into rows as screen size increases. The controlContent divs set properties such as padding, margin, background, and border-radius.
The challenge lies in achieving consistent height among siblings in the same row despite varying content heights due to using display: table-cell. This results in gaps beneath smaller cells where gradient backgrounds may not fully cover the cell height.
To address this issue, a need for elements mimicking table rows arises, especially when responsiveness alters grouping based on CSS media queries.
Exploring solutions utilizing anonymous table boxes or anonymous table rows leaves questions regarding implementation, particularly while employing CSS selectors like :nth-child() for managing floating boxes and potentially establishing new table rows at specific intervals.
An optimal resolution should align with best practices without relying heavily on presentation markup, ideally accommodating any number of cells within a variable-dimension table setup for responsive design.
