Container Layout
Definition
Web item that allows the systematic arrangement of Web items into rows and columns.
Use
The Container Layout Web item helps you to visually arrange the content in a Web application. You can specify for each cell in the layout grid which Web item is to be displayed; only one item can be displayed for each cell. In this way, you can systematically arrange Web items over, under, or adjacent to one another.
You can also use an HTML table to systematically arrange the content in a Web application; note that technical perspectives such as accessibility are automatically applied and implemented with the Container Layout Web item.
