DIV A vertically floating div is sorted down by row

Question

I am trying to find DIVs vertically from top to bottom inside a container. The container should be vertically limited to 500 pixels. All DIVs that cannot fit into this limit should be moved to the next line.

<style>
#container {
    position:relative;
    background-color:red;
    max-width:500px;
    min-height:500px;
    }
#area {
    position:absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    background-color:yellow;
    margin:20px;
    width:100px;
    height:100px;

}
</style>

<div id="container">
    <div id="area">area1</div>
    <div id="area">area2</div>
    <div id="area">area3</div>
    <div id="area">area4</div>
    <div id="area">area5</div>
    <div id="area">area6</div>
</div>

My line result should look like this:

    ---------------------------->
    | -------- --------
    | |Area 1| |Area 5|
    | -------- --------
    | -------- --------
max | |Area 2| |Area 6|
500 | -------- --------
 px | --------
    | |Area 3|   etc..
    | --------
    | --------             /\
    | |Area 4|   etc....... |
    | --------   
    --------------------------->

My questions are: what am I doing wrong, and if possible? Thanks!

Answer 1

CSS columns at first seem like a promising solution, but they will not automatically adjust the width of the container as you add or remove areas.

, divs, , , . float:right. 90 , . divs , 90 .

- :

#container {
  position:relative;
  background-color:red;
  max-width:500px;
  margin-left:-500px;
  max-height:500px;
  overflow:hidden;
  -webkit-transform:rotate(-90deg);
  -webkit-transform-origin:top right;
  -ms-transform:rotate(-90deg);
  -ms-transform-origin:top right;
  transform:rotate(-90deg);
  transform-origin:top right;
  padding:20px 0 0 20px;
  -webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
  -moz-box-sizing:border-box;
  box-sizing:border-box;
}
#area {
  background-color:yellow;
  margin:0 20px 20px 0;
  width:100px;
  height:100px;
  float:right;
  -webkit-transform:rotate(90deg);
  -ms-transform:rotate(90deg);
  transform:rotate(90deg);
}

margin-left , - (.. max-width). max-height "", , . overflow:hidden , , .

, , div , . - ( ), box-sizing:border-box.

, divs 1:1, , , . , .

IE, , , IE9.
