CSS Grid System for Forms (Multi-Column)

Question

For future reference here is the final result with pixel perfect precision:

The CSS code:

._25 {
    width: 21%;
    display:          


        

Answer 1

One answer is Blueprint. I have read where you don't think it's the answer, but it's still the way I would do it. All the ease of tables with all the power of CSS.

With blueprint the math is pretty easy. Let's say your form spans 10 columns.
