Remarks
Windows Internet Explorer 8. The IHTMLRuleStyle2::layoutGridChar attribute is an extension to CSS, and can be used as a synonym for layout-grid-char in IE8 Standards mode.
The visual effects of the IHTMLRuleStyle2::layoutGridChar attribute are similar to the IHTMLRuleStyle::lineHeight property.
Web documents in Asian languages, such as Chinese or Japanese, usually create a page layout for characters using a one- or two-dimensional grid. You can use the IHTMLRuleStyle2::layoutGrid attribute to incorporate this layout into Web documents.
