Patrice: A common method for this, somewhat of a kludge but it worked
for me in the past, is:

jQuery purports to have solutions as well. I watched a EweToob
tutorial and it seemed unnecessarily tortuous (as opposed to those
things that are necessarily tortuous):

Much saner I thought was this:

But scroll down to click "View Demo >>" link and then view source to
see how it's really applied.

I think either way, CSS or jQuery, this method degrades acceptably,
but the example layout is so simple that it's hard for me to say,
compared with more complex collections of divs.
