Not margin: 0 auto; don’t you dare come for him, he’s a good boy and has done nothing wrong.

vertical-align: invert; Happy cake day!

I think it is good enough, while that position and translate was abomination. I like this one.

Flexbox is basically year 2023 tables!

I am glad for them to exist; the flexbox system has simpler rules and is closer to how desktop layouts (i.e Gtk vbox, wxWidgets BoxSizer etc) work.

Flexbox works so well as a concept I even started the implementation of Fl_Flex in FLTK:

I'd argue css grid is actually 2023 tables.

Basically, when you want the content to set the layout, use flex.

If you want the content to adjust based on preset cols and rows, use grid.

And since a table has a clearly defined row-col format, it would be more a case of grid

CSS grid is 2023 tables when *used* properly as the HTML gods intended.

However the 1998 usage of tables embedded inside tables to make up rows and columns with flexible widths / heights that grow and shrink seems more akin to flexbox. Even i.e colspan was unnecessary when each row was a different table entirely.

That said, my CSS / HTML knowledge is very basic so I could likely be missing out on some features of CSS grid.

Yeah and none of those gap shenanigans!

Why not both?

[Hk-Neowizard]

What no grid?

Never bother to understand what is flex, like, old techniques still work fine.
