You're right, I misread Joel's quote & I'm grateful he took the time to clarify. This doesn't make it any less possible. For example:

http://www.jemjabella.co.uk/junk/rearrange/abs-columns-in-or...

http://www.jemjabella.co.uk/junk/rearrange/abs-columns-out-o...

Same CSS, re-ordered columns.

Although for the record, I dislike the technique used to achieve the results. As the person above you said - just because it's possible it doesn't mean it's any good!

Out of curiosity..

Is there a fun story behind your website's headline: "Jem Jabella - Ultimately Better Than You" ?

jemjabella was nickname given to me about 10 years ago, and the tagline is intended as humour.

I use it as a measure of whether or not people should read my site... i.e. if you find it funny, or are able to ignore the blatant egotism, then you would probably be OK reading my site. If it winds you up or gets to you, then you won't like the content and you should read at your own risk. :)
