With the protperty "inline-block"...
Margin, padding and border values if over 0px can give you problems in wraping the boxes over multiple rows...
So you will need to experiment with it, the box-modal removes this downside...
Code:
.parent
{
position:relative; display:block;
width:300px; height:300px;
}
.child
{
position:inherit; display:inline-block;
width:25%; height:100%; /* where width would be 100 / x, x = amount of children
}
