I'm creating an html page which controls a robot, and I'm trying to get the layout nice.
At the moment there is a live video feed and below it a single column of 8 buttons. These buttons have CSS attributes which change their colour when they're clicked etc. I just want to be able to move the buttons to arrange them in a grid, or set of columns.
How do I do this? Do I need to use CSS to create some columns, or is it more difficult as I'm positioning buttons not text?
