Controlling the display of dynamic/echoed data

Post by toffeejay »

Hi,

I am currently creating an extensive directory however I have come across what I suspect is a relatively easy problem to fix.

The directory has an area search via a flash map i.e. you choose a county and are presented with a list of towns in that county, however the list of returned data varies from less than 50 to 250+. Obviously this causes for a huge one column list that runs and runs down the page causing endless scrolling for the user.

Is there a way to display the SQL query results in say two or three columns therefore shortening the display of the list of results.

This belongs in the client side forum--- it has nothing to do with PHP

You should look into HTML tables.
