A single column in a columns element. Each child of the column element is placed in each successive cell of the grid. The column with the most child elements determines the number of rows in each column.

It is common to use columns only to define width and flexibility for the grid column and not place elements directly inside the column.

More information is available in the XUL tutorial.

Example

See grid for an example.
