I'm working on using <div> tags with floats to create a web page that has two columns if the user has a standard monitor and three columns if they have a widescreen monitor. I've got the width part down, but is there any way to calculate how to divvy up the text into three columns, i.e. any type of event or coding to indicate when a column is full so that the javascript that creates the next div tag can run?
