Adobe have launched their prototype of CSS Regions, with their custom browser where you can see the code and design in action. CSS Regions has been developed to make the web appear more like print design. Web designers will then be able to create multi-column layouts, with text adjusting and overflowing into these columns automatically, and create textareas in different shapes as well as fitting text around objects.
Although web design has come a long way since static designs and table-based designs, by the introduction of CSS, there is still a way to go to make the web mimic print design, but also to allow it to remain flexible.
The Adobe CSS Regions prototype and documentation can be downloaded and viewed here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cssregions/. There is also a discussion forum to report any issues and to provide ideas.
