html - Is the holy grail still important or is that history? -
before html5, lot of effort made have main content in html source, before columns marked aside today. (the optimal way 3 column layouts holy grail ). there 2 reasons this: seo: earlier content counted more important search engines accessibility: show important content first view content without css with html5, can solve problem markup. can markup column on left aside , main content main . dump holy grail, use table-cell css effect of 3 equally high columns , html5 markup tell search engines/screen readers part main content is. is holy grail still important seo/accessibility or history? important other reason? most of time mobile seems answer. in mobile layouts, content order matters. adapt question: is holy grail still state of art multi column layouts? ps: know flexbox coming. i'm asking backwards compatibility in mind.
