the method used to fake full length columns, which you can't get for real unless you can set a height on them
Yeah...isn't that annoying? I've resorted to setting heights on them only to strip the code out without including it in my layout's final versions because setting a height is always going to make the resulting columns too short for some posts and page views and too tall for others. The only possible workaround is to use lj-cuts to keep posts to an exact height that always works with the resulting column flow, which is a ridiculous way for anyone to keep their layout looking somewhat right, and doesn't address the problem with various page views not matching height correctly at all.
I'm not good at setting column heights anyway, especially given DW's limited capacity for such things (you need to be able to muck around in the HTML to use divs to set the columns up yourself, a feature we're lacking here unless we get into editing existing and/or creating new s2 layers), so this is the one convo here that has gone right over my head, on top of everything else...
