Screenshot of the example Fancybrowser rending the Example css3_multicol.htm

When viewing the example file webkit-guide/css3_multicol.htm provided with QT using the example program webkit/fancybrowser, the page does not display properly. It is not respecting the "column-count" parameters.

WebKit still doesn't recognize 'column-count' property, but '-webkit-column-count' works fine.

[Simon Fraser (smfr)]

We haven't dropped prefixes yet.

[Tom Zakrajsek]

Use -webkit-column-count instead.  The W3C spec for the column-count property is not stable enough yet for us to drop the "-webkit-" prefix.
