CSS Columns will not horizontally align

Question

I am using column count to allow my text to flow into two different columns but the top of the first column (leftmost) is lower than the other column?

#col {
  -moz-column-count: 2;
  -webkit-column-count: 2;
  column-count: 2;
}

<div id="col">
  <h3>
    Options
  </h3>
  <h3>
    Features and Benefits
  </h3>
  <h3>
    Specifications
  </h3>
  <h3>
    hey
  </h3>
  <h3>
    30 Years Experience
  </h3>
</div>

I have included a limited section of the code, and even when I fill it with text, there is still a difference in the top of the columns.

Answer 1

Just a bit of CSS:

CSS:

#col {
  -moz-column-count: 2;
  -webkit-column-count: 2;
  column-count: 2;
  position:relative;
}
h3{display:inline-block;width:100%;}
// Best would be #col > * , because all direct children must be affected.

HTML:

<div id="col">
    <h3>
        Options 
    </h3>
    <h3>
        Features and Benefits
    </h3>
    <h3>
        Specifications
    </h3>
    <h3>
        hey
    </h3>
    <h3>
        30 Years Experience
    </h3>
    </div>

Snippet:

#col {
  -moz-column-count: 2;
  -webkit-column-count: 2;
  column-count: 2;
  position:relative;
}
h3{display:inline-block;width:100%;}

<div id="col">
    <h3>
        Options 
    </h3>
    <h3>
        Features and Benefits
    </h3>
    <h3>
        Specifications
    </h3>
    <h3>
        hey
    </h3>
    <h3>
        30 Years Experience
    </h3>
    </div>

Answer 2

Use :

#col h3 {
  margin-top: 0;
}

#col {
  -moz-column-count: 2;
  -webkit-column-count: 2;
  column-count: 2;
}

#col h3 {
  margin-top: 0;
}

<div id="col">
  <h3>Options</h3>
  <h3>Features and Benefits</h3>
  <h3>Specifications</h3>
  <h3>hey</h3>
  <h3>30 Years Experience</h3>
</div>
