Notes

Remarks

Windows Internet Explorer 8. The -ms-layout-grid attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for layout-grid in IE8 Standards mode. Though you don’t have to specify all four values for the -ms-layout-grid attribute, they must be listed in the order given in Possible Values. Web documents in Asian languages, such as Chinese or Japanese, usually create a page layout for characters using a one-dimensional or two-dimensional grid. You can use the -ms-layout-grid attribute to incorporate this layout into Web documents.

Syntax

-ms-layout-grid: mode type line char
